The issue is they were prompted with the “QtWebEngine will not be built” error when building QtWebEngine. I duplicated this issue on Ubuntu 14.04. In Qt5.6, the QtWebEngine build doesn't appear to be allowed for linux-imx6-g++ platform. I used qt-everywhere-enterprise-src-5.6.0-alpha and the toolchain provided.
Below is the configure line used for building Qt 5.6:
configure device imx6 -device-option CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/poky/1.7.1/sysroots/i686-pokysdk-linux/usr/bin/arm-poky-linux-gnueabi/arm-poky-linux-gnueabi -qpa -no-pch -c++11 -opengl es2 -no-xcb -eglfs -sysroot /opt/poky/1.7.1/sysroots/cortexa9hf-vfp-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi -no-gcc-sysroot -no-sse2 -no-sse3 -no-ssse3 -no-sse4.1 -no-sse4.2 -no-avx -no-avx2 -no-mips_dsp -no-mips_dspr2 -no-sql-db2 -no-sql-ibase -no-sql-mysql -no-sql-oci -no-sql-odbc -no-sql-psql -sql-sqlite -icu -force-pkg-config -no-sql-sqlite2 -no-sql-tds -no-cups -no-iconv -no-libudev -qt-pcre -commercial -confirm-license -prefix /usr/local/Qt560
I made the following change to allow the QtWebEngine build for linux imx6 platform in qtwebengine/tools/qmake/mkspecs/features/functions.prf.
Line 17:linux-g+|linux-imx6-g+|win32-msvc2013|macx-clang: return(true)
The build failed due to a missing dependency file atk.pc. Please see below for details. I have checked package libatk1.0-0 was installed on the system, but atk.pc wasn't found on the system.
( test -e Makefile.gyp_run || /home/digia/qt-builds/shadowbuild/qt-5.6.0-alpha/qtbase/bin/qmake /home/digia/qt-source/qt-everywhere-enterprise-src-5.6.0-alpha/qtwebengine/src/core/gyp_run.pro -o Makefile.gyp_run ) && make -f Makefile.gyp_run

Package atk was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `atk.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable

Is QtWebEngine in Qt 5.6 supported on linux imx6 platform? In addition, can any suggestions on this dependency error and the instructions for building QtWebEngine for embedded Linux be provided?
