    \title Qt WebEngine Platform Notes

    \brief Contains information about issues that are specific to the Qt WebEngine module.

    \section1 Building Qt WebEngine from Source

    The requirements for building Qt 5 modules from source are listed separately for each supported
    platform:

    \list
        \li \l{Qt for Windows - Requirements}
        \li \l{Qt for X11 Requirements}
        \li \l{Qt for OS X - Requirements}
    \endlist

    In addition, the following tools are required for building the \l {Qt WebEngine} module:

    \list
        \li Windows: Visual Studio 2013 or Visual Studio 2015
        \li Linux: Clang or GCC version 4.7 or later
        \li OS X: Xcode version 5.1 or later
    \endlist

    \section1 Adobe Flash Player Plugin Support

    Qt WebEngine supports the Adobe Flash player plugin that is a Pepper Plugin API (PPAPI)
    plugin. The plugin must be installed in one of the following locations, depending on the
    platform:

    \list
        \li Windows
            \code
            C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\pepflashplayer*.dll
            C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\pepflashplayer*.dll
            \endcode
        \li OS X
            \code
            /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/PepperFlashPlayer/PepperFlashPlayer.plugin
            \endcode
        \li Linux
            \code
            /usr/lib/pepperflashplugin-nonfree/libpepflashplayer.so
            /usr/lib/PepperFlash/libpepflashplayer.so
            /usr/lib64/chromium/PepperFlash/libpepflashplayer.so
            \endcode
    \endlist

    You can also load the Flash player from a specific location by using command line arguments:

    \code
    --ppapi-flash-path=./libpepflashplayer.so
    \endcode
