How to build QtWebEngine 5.10 from source

Viewed 8517

I'm trying to build QtWebengine from source so what I've done is I downloaded qtwebengine from http://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtwebengine.git/

I've also installed all the depencies listed on http://wiki.qt.io/QtWebEngine/How_to_Try

I followed the steps to cd into the folder and ran

git submodule update --init

then qmake but I got this error:

~/Documents/qtwebengine 5.10
❯ qmake -r
Cannot read /home/austin/Documents/qtwebengine/qtwebengine-config.pri: No such file or directory
/home/austin/Documents/qtwebengine/mkspecs/features/platform.prf:68: 'qtConfig' is not a recognized test function.
/home/austin/Documents/qtwebengine/mkspecs/features/configure.prf:33: 'qtConfig' is not a recognized test function.

Required gperf could not be found.
QtWebEngine will not be built.

Do I need to create my own qtwebengine-config.pri file?

ps: I'm currently using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
