[QGIS-Developer] Qt & Python version for QGIS 3

[William Kyngesburye]

How did you build QtWebkit 5.9, or PyQt?  I have the Qt 5.9 binaries, built QtWebkit 5.9 from the Qt project version of the source, but qmake doesn't see it when building PyQt 5.9 (dev).  qmake says:

Project ERROR: Unknown module(s) in QT: webkit
Project ERROR: Unknown module(s) in QT: webkitwidgets

and skips building the webkit parts of PyQt.

The PyQt list wasn't any help.  Other than suggesting trying the annulen source for QtWebkit, which I haven't yet.  Apparently the Qt version doesn't get webkit security updates, the annulen version does.
