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 http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=54692technosaurus wrote:webkitgtk is MUCH easier to compile than the standard webkit(provided you have libsoup and use the glib unicode backend instead of ICU)

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:
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.

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)
