could you give me some details? After re-enabling the build for MinGW,
qtwebkit just compiled out of the box. It took forever, but did not
require any patching. Admittedly, I have cheated a tiny bit by building
with --buildtype Release, as RelWithDebInfo exceeded my (virtual) disk
space.

I'd like to point of the perhaps the entire reason for the continued
existence of QtWebKit *is* MinGW, or more precisely the fact that
QtWebEngine cannot be built with MinGW, and thus is not available as an
alternative.

And just now our MacOS build has been removed, as well. I know it has
been failing. *Again* without any change on *our* end.

I'm not directing the following sigh at anyone in particular, as I know
there isn't the right address for it. It still wants out though:

I'd love to have more time for the project. But I don't. It totally
sucks to come back from a hiatus after a few months, only to find out
that there's not just a lack of progress, but the project has been
broken by external changes, left broken, *and* removed without notice.
Instead of going anywhere, I'm spending hours just trying to get back
to the baseline. No fun.

Regards
Thomas
