It’s definitely better to use the system web view. Including all of WebKit in the static binary is clearly not a good option. I think the easiest solution would be to document the dependency, and to have a better error message than just getting the “No such file or directory” from the linker.

I’d mention that WebKit2GTK is very much specific to GTK. The equivalent used on QT based desktops like KDE is QtWebEngine (or QtWebKit? (it’s a bit confusing)).

heh, yep :) i’m using fedora kde

hey :)

came across some weirdness, i know it’s supposed to be a static binary, but it seems to need libwebkit2gtk4.0.so.37.

; ldd rad-reader-release
not a dynamic executable

; ./rad-reader-release
./rad-reader-release: error while loading shared libraries: libwebkit2gtk-4.0.so.37: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

i fixed it by installing webkit2gtk4.0 but i think the intent was for the binary to work on any system.
