 I can't help with the Q_ALWAYS_INLINE error, but can here. Qt5WebKit
and Qt5WebEngine core are very different beasts with different use
cases. Unfortunately Qt upstream have royally messed up this situation
in Qt5 by declaring Qt5WebKit deprecated. We can't switch to
Qt5WebEngine as it's just too limited and doesn't support many of the
methods we need from Qt5WebKit.

If you don't have Qt5WebKit available you can set WITH_QTWEBKIT to
FALSE to allow QGIS to build. You won't be able to use any html
dependant features (eg composer html items, or html annotations), but
the rest should work OK.
