Install wkhtml2pdf on ubuntu precise 64bit (12.04 LTS) with patched QT

install-wkhtml2pdf.sh

# I managed to get the compiled version with patched QT working on ubuntu precise 64bit (12.04 LTS) and thought I'd share my bash history in the hopes it might spare others some trouble shooting.
# Also note that this install process takes rather long, you might want to consider running it in a screen or something

# you will be needing git if you haven't got it yet
sudo apt-get install git-core

# as per installation instructions, install dependencies for wkhtmltopdf
sudo apt-get install openssl build-essential xorg libssl-dev libxrender-dev
# clone the repo
git clone git://github.com/antialize/wkhtmltopdf.git wkhtmltopdf

# install qt dependencies, see http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/requirements-x11.html
sudo apt-get install libfontconfig1-dev libfreetype6-dev libx11-dev libxcursor-dev libxext-dev libxfixes-dev libxft-dev libxi-dev libxrandr-dev libxrender-dev

# get qt
git clone git://gitorious.org/~antialize/qt/antializes-qt.git wkhtmltopdf-qt
cd wkhtmltopdf-qt
git checkout 4.8.4
QTDIR=. ./bin/syncqt
# important here is to note that the -nomake arguments are in quotes as andrei mentioned in the comments before
./configure -nomake "tools examples demos docs translations" -opensource -prefix ../wkqt
# if make fails because you have no Makefile, then something in configure went wrong, check the output for clues
make -j3 && make install

# installing wkhtmltopdf
cd ../wkhtmltopdf
# now, run qmake in this directory:
../wkqt/bin/qmake
# finally, make wkhtmltopdf (if you get permission errors, run make and make install as sudo)
make && make install

Hi, can you please share the .Exe for the windows.

WOW it worked! Thank you for posting your notes!!

Does this work on Ubuntu 14.04? I am getting build errors when i execute line 30 Thanks!

This is obsolete -- it is better to use the binaries or build system of wkhtmltopdf.

Hi, git clone git://gitorious.org/~antialize/qt/antializes-qt.git wkhtmltopdf-qt doesn't work.
Do you know how to resolve?

@hidechae I've exactly your problem, I found a read-only copy of repo here:
https://qt.gitorious.org/qt/antializes-qt.git
so, you have to type this:
git clone https://qt.gitorious.org/qt/antializes-qt.git wkhtmltopdf-qt
please note https://, git:// does not work :)

git clone git://gitorious.org/~antialize/qt/antializes-qt.git wkhtmltopdf-qt doesn't work.
You can try git clone https://github.com/wkhtmltopdf/qt.git then git checkout 4.8

git clone https://github.com/wkhtmltopdf/qt.git --branch 4.8

Fire this command will be better, for qt based wkhtmltopdf
