webkitgtk is MUCH easier to compile than the standard webkit(provided you have libsoup and use the glib unicode backend instead of ICU)

Was trying with webkitgtk but hit the buffers with this error

Guess I need to come back when I have learned a LOT more

I apologize for hijacking the thread temporarily... teaching oportunity
My guess is that when you compiled glib, you did not pass the --prefix=/usr flag to the configure script (the default is /usr/local) this can have 2 effects:
1. Your glibXXX.pc file is by default in /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig, so the old one gets picked up by the configure script instead
2. Your glib-config script goes to $PREFIX/bin so the old one gets used there too. (most likely scenario)
#this is due to its location in $PATH and $PKGCONFIG_PATH (spelling?)
to verify try:
Code: Select all
pkg-config --cflags --libs glib-2.0
btw these are preferred paths PREFIX=/usr SYSCONF=/etc LOCALSTATE=/var
No worry's though - I can post my latest stable glib pet and its DEV.pet, just thought it may save some frustration later for other packages.

Can only speak for myself here, but I never mind thread hijacking if its for teaching. Its a great way to learn something unexpected while you read.

Technosaurus........ thanks. I need to digest your post and figure out what it means. I just did ./configure make make install, so I guess you are right.

If anyone is debating making a puplet with arora as the default browser, there is a test browser included in Qt build that would make a decent "defaulthtmlviewer". I am doing the same thing for Midori + webkitgtk's GtkLauncher (only I modified the default home page from
http://www.google.com to file:///usr/share/docs/home.htm)
