If I'm understanding this bug report correctly, you need QtWebEngine to be in Debian. I'll assign this to myself as I have been working with the Debian Qt people to get QtWebEngine and QtWebChannel (a dependency of QtWebEngine) packaged.
At the moment, QtWebChannel is in Debian, and we're waiting on some tweaks to QtWebEngine's debian/copyright file for it to be uploaded. I can reasonably predict that QtWebEngine will be in Ubuntu 17.04 before Feature Freeze. I'll keep this bug report updated. ** Changed in: qtbase-opensource-src (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Simon Quigley (tsimonq2) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to qtbase-opensource-src in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1579265 Title: Qt dev package does not include webenginewidgets Status in qtbase-opensource-src package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Attached is a sample project that uses several QT components. To build this, one needs to install the following packages: apt-get install libqt5core5a qtconnectivity5-dev qtmultimedia5-dev qt5-default libqt5webkit5-dev qt3d5-dev g++ Then, run qmake. The expected result should be output of a Makefile, Makefile.debug and Makefile.release. However, I get the following error: unknown modules: webenginewidgets I do not see any package that provides the web engine widgets component and must conclude that the QT package is missing this. Therefore am opening this bug and requesting that QT be packaged to include webengine. Or a separate package be provided with this. This is for 16.04 release which packages Qt 5.5.1. Thanks.
