qt5webengine: new package
This patch is based on works [1] and [2].
With this patch, one can run the Qt5 WebEngine quicknanobrowser sample
with the following options.
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT_LIBC="glibc" and
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT_CXX (Qt 5 needs a toolchain w/ wchar, NPTL, C++,
dynamic library; for now it builds only with glibc)
BR2_PACKAGE_LIBERATION (Qt needs at least one font)
BR2_PACKAGE_QT5BASE_EXAMPLES (to install quicknanobrowser sample)
BR2_PACKAGE_QT5BASE_GIF (do display gif)
BR2_PACKAGE_QT5BASE_JPEG (do display jpeg)
BR2_PACKAGE_QT5BASE_PNG (do display png)
BR2_PACKAGE_QT5QUICKCONTROLS (needed by webengine)
BR2_PACKAGE_QT5QUICKCONTROLS2 (needed by webengine)
BR2_PACKAGE_QT5WEBENGINE (because it is what we want)
Qt WebEngine requires an Open(E)GL-capable backend. As an example, the
package rpi-userland must be enabled to build for a rpi.
BR2_PACKAGE_RPI_USERLAND (to enable OpenGL ES backend)
To browse for HTTPS websites, please consider adding the following
options as well for SSL/TLS.
BR2_PACKAGE_CA_CERT (for certificates)
BR2_PACKAGE_NTPD (to sync date for certificates)
Since version 5.9, chromium requires udev at runtime (see note 4).
BR2_ROOTFS_DEVICE_CREATION_DYNAMIC_EUDEV (input backend)
To run quicknanobrowser
# cd /usr/lib/qt/examples/webengine/quicknanobrowser/
# ./quicknanobrowser https://www.buildroot.org/

Note 2: Since 5.9.1, the chromium's copy of opus fails with neon [3].
Qt WebEngine can uses buildroot ffmpeg copy which compiles fine (using
qmake flag WEBENGINE_CONFIG+=use_system_ffmpeg). It implies selecting
the following options.
BR2_PACKAGE_FFMPEG
BR2_PACKAGE_OPUS
BR2_PACKAGE_LIBVPX
BR2_PACKAGE_WEBP
BR2_PACKAGE_WEBP_DEMUX

Note 3: Version 5.6.2 causes a build issue while building chromium. The
build against this version is disabled until the release 5.6.3 is out.
Note 4: Here is trace when udev does not run
# cd /usr/lib/qt/examples/webengine/quicknanobrowser
# ./quicknanobrowser

Note 6: The first patch fixes a build issue when samples are compiled
without the support of printing [4]. This patch is already merged in
branch 5.9 [5] and concerns only 5.9.1.
085c2c52 Always compile QWebEnginePage::print
It fixes the error below.
.obj/browsermainwindow.o: In function `BrowserMainWindow::printRequested(QWebEnginePage*)': browsermainwindow.cpp:(.text+0x2cc0): undefined reference to `QWebEnginePage::print(QPrinter*, QWebEngineCallback<bool> const&)'
The second patch loads both libEGL and libGLESv2 symbols implicitly
instead of loading them with explicitly using hard-coded locations. It
fixes a bug when providers of lib*GL does not create libraries named
libEGL.so.1 and libGLESv2.s2 [6]. This patch is already merged in branch
5.9 [7].
d4c621f6 Load libEGL and libGLES2 symbols implicitly
It fixes the error below.
