# Building

### Notes (TODO: move)
* Windows: MSVC compiler is required because of QtWebEngine dependency
* Windows: Passing the -v or -h parameters creates a dialog box instead of 
writing the output to stdout.  This is Qt behaviour.
* Windows: Use windeployqt.exe to collect the libraries
```
QT_DIR\QT_VER\msvc2015_64\windeployqt.exe build-PROFILE\release\qtbrowser.exe
```
* grsecurity: You may need to exception qbs.

An optional system proxy should be picked up automatically. However, for proxies
that require a username or password, you need to connect to 
QWebEnginePage::proxyAuthenticationRequired.

Qt WebEngine Widgets uses the Qt Quick Scene Graph to compose the page. 
Therefore, OpenGL support is required.
And that's also why QML is a dependancy.

To use clang with QtCreator, you need to change the compiler in 
Build & Run » Kits, not the qbs profile.
