Note that Qt officially only has one backend, QtWebEngine, which is QtWebKit's successor.
However, it's more or less one guy (annulen) keeping QtWebKit alive as a hobby. So far that's worked surprisingly well, though.
- dijit 9y agoThat is incredibly notable, since qtwebengine is not supported -at-all- on my chosen platform (FreeBSD) OT: heard you were going to CCC, I'd appreciate it if you swung by the DarkScience Assembly if you get a chance. :D And great work on qutebrowser!
- The-Compiler 9y agoIs it? https://www.freshports.org/www/qt5-webengine/ https://www.freshports.org/www/qt5-webengine/ I'll try, but as usual I'll probably have a lot of things I want to do :D I'm usually at the Swiss Chaos assembly FWIW, and there might be a qutebrowser meetup as self-organized session some day. Thanks! :)
- dijit 9y agoYeah i have that port installed. Getting the python bindings seems impossible. Also. That port is quite the hack. :(
- The-Compiler 9y agoLooks like there's some work-in-progress here: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D12964 https://reviews.freebsd.org/D12964 And yeah, QtWebEngine is quite a beast to package, I can imagine that it's even worse on BSD...
