Instructions for building the qt/webkit media plugin using distribution (shared) qt4, instead of static qt4 that the default LL build uses.

Part 1 qtwebkit in shared form

First of all you need to grab the latest code for qt/webkit this is in a mecurial (hg) repository and if you install the mecurial tools for your distribution you can then fetch the code with

 hg clone http://hg.secondlife.com/llqtwebkit/

To get this to build some minor changes are required :-

This disables some features that are not avaiable in current qt4/ and in the case of the prepend patch will never be avaiable and also changes the build to use a shared qt4

To apply the above as a patch copy it to a local file, eg shared_qt.patch then from the llqtwebkit folder run :-

patch -p1 < shared_qt.patch

After sucessfully patching the code you can build with

qmake-qt4
make

This will produce a libqtwebkit.so and some symlinks to the library with so name versions. To install the quick and easy way is to

cp *.so /usr/local/lib/ cp llqtwebkit.h /usr/local/include/
