Description Yaakov Selkowitz 2017-07-24 04:21:14 UTC

As only webenginepart actually depends on QtWebEngine, with the following patch it is actually possible to build konqueror on systems/arches where QtWebEngine is not supported.  The resulting konqueror is then be able to use either khtmlpart or, even better, the KF5-based kwebkitpart currently in KDE git.  I have used this patch to keep konqueror current on Cygwin despite our (probably permanent) lack of QtWebEngine:

I think a similar patch is also used by openSUSE, because when installing Konqueror, it works without pulling in QtWebEngine.
