Unknown module(s) in QT: webkit

Question

Added QT += network webkit and I tried just QT += webkit to the .pro solution file and ran qmake from inside the QtCreator and got this error:

error: Unknown module(s) in QT: webkit

I really need to make use of these includes:

#include <QWebView>
#include <QUrl>

Any ideas?

Seems like you have Qt without webkit. Where did you get Qt from? Did you compile it on your own? — Kamil Klimek, Nov 22 '12 at 15:58
Thanks @phresnel but it does not find with or without network — Kal, Nov 22 '12 at 15:59
@KamilKlimek I got the beta version (like the latest release) from their website: http://developer.qt.nokia.com/downloads#qt-creator — Kal, Nov 22 '12 at 16:01
@KamilKlimek I just installed the QT beta SDK installer, I thought that just did install all the frameworks, if not how do I install them? — Kal, Nov 22 '12 at 16:22

If you say you installed the beta version I suppose you installed Qt version 5. In that case webkit module does not exist anymore. You need webkitwidgets:

QT += webkitwidgets

That will add the module needed to use QWebView. QUrl is in the core module, so you don't need the network module.
