You need to install WPEBackend: https://wpewebkit.org/releases/wpebackend-0.1.tar.xz You'll also need WPEBackend-fdo: https://wpewebkit.org/releases/wpebackend-fdo-0.1.tar.xz The instructions should be updated to indicate this. It requires many other dependencies as well, but we can assume the reader is familiar with building software for GNU/Linux and can install missing pkg-config dependencies. But the WPEBackend dependencies are worth special attention, since they're not present in Linux distributions yet. I can confirm that the cmake configuration for the tarball is successful after adding the two wpebackend dependencies. I've previously built WebKitGTK+ from tarball, and WPE from git and Yocto. I thought the tarball instructions looked a bit too simple. :) I just updated the wiki to mention libwpe and WPEBackend-fdo: https://trac.webkit.org/wiki/WPE Anything else to be done here before closing? Your documentation looks good, I'll just fix FreeDesktop.Org -> freedesktop.org. (In reply to Michael Catanzaro from comment #5) > Your documentation looks good, I'll just fix FreeDesktop.Org -> > freedesktop.org. I think I wrote it thinking of https://github.com/Igalia/meta-webkit/wiki/WPE but forgot to add the link :) Thanks for the the fix. |
