So far, I've successfully built qtbase, qtjsbackend, qtdeclarative. 
qtwebkit is being built.

I've had to make only the following changes:

Comment out pkgconfig(atspi-2), pkgconfig(glesv2) and 
pkgconfig(icu-i18n) from qtbase & pkgconfig(atspi-2) from qtwebkit build 
requires.

(of course, webkit build is still going on.. fingers crossed!)

I now have one doubt regarding pcre.
For building qtwebkit, I had to yum install pcre-devel. When I checked 
qtbase spec file, I found that -qt-pcre is passed for fedora < 17.
Now that qtwebkit will be using system pcre & qtbase was compiled wih 
its own pcre, will there be any issues?
Should I edit qtbase spec file to use system pcre (although the fedora 
17 case specifies >= 8.30 while CentOS has only 7.8) and rebuild everything?


Thanks and regards,
