libQt5WebKit doesn’t appear in the software repo. What is my best course of action to get wkhtmltopdf installed on this machine?

It’s broken:

I’m on Leap, so I don’t know what result you will get on Tumbleweed:

ox@orca$ sudo zypper search -s --provides libQt5WebKit.so.5
Refreshing service 'NVIDIA'.
Refreshing service 'openSUSE'.

S | Name          | Type    | Version                | Arch   | Repository
--+---------------+---------+------------------------+--------+----------------
  | libQt5WebKit5 | package | 5.212~alpha4-bp156.5.8 | x86_64 | repo-oss (15.6)

If the package is not provided in the tumbleweed repos, I would snag the source rpm from Leap and compile locally.

This is actually pretty easy with “rpmbuild --rebuild ”.

The deprecated build dependencies are not available under Tumbleweed, that is why it won’t build under Tumbleweed. wkhtmltopdf is dead upstream as it depends on no longer available (unsecure) build dependencies…

hui’s reponse convinced me that trying to build it is a bad idea. wkhtmltopdf It is still avaiable on Leap, which you could run in a vm.

But if the software is not no longer maintained, I would look for something else.
