QtWebEngine is based on Chromium instead of WebKit and as an effect, it's highly unportable [1]. It's unfortunately rather difficult to convince Google to take patches to add support for non-mainstream targets to any of their projects. There was a developer at Oracle that invested huge efforts to port Golang to sparc64 but Google just dismissed the work due to their own lack of interest. It's a pity that Qt switched to Chromium instead of sticking with the much more portable WebKit. Adrian
