[webkit-qt] QtWebKit 2.3.0 released - syncqt fails?

[Allan Sandfeld Jensen]

Hi Adenilson

You shouldn't expect QtWebKit 2.3 to work with Qt 5. Qt 5 already ship with 
the version of WebKit that 2.3 is based on. It is only meant as a Qt 4.8 
version of QtWebKit from Qt 5.

Sorry for the confusion.
 
Best regards
`Allan
