I'm trying to get some fairly basic code to run with webkit2gtk, however I'm having issues linking. I cut my code down to 2 lines just to get the error ```c
#include <webkitgtk-4.0/webkit2/webkit2.h>
int main(void) { g_signal_connect(0,0,0,0); }

When I run this with `cc -lglib-2.0 -lgtk-3 -lwebkit2gtk main.c` I get an error saying ```
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-linux-musl/13.2.0/../../../../lib64/libgtk-3.so: undefined reference to symbol 'g_signal_connect_data'
/usr/bin/ld: /lib64/libgobject-2.0.so.0: error adding symbols: DSO missing from command line
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

I have no clue why, so if anyone could help me.

2 potential reasons that come to my mind:

  • You didn't specify the include path
  • You messed up the order (the main.c should go before the -l... commands)

I ommited the includes for breivity although I don't see what that has to do with linking ```
-I /usr/include/glib-2.0/ -I /usr/include/webkitgtk-4.0/ -I /usr/lib/glib-2.0/include/ -I /usr/include/gtk-3.0/ -I /usr/include/cairo/ -I /usr/include/pango-1.0/ -I /usr/include/harfbuzz/ -I /usr/include/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/ -I /usr/include/graphene-1.0/ -I
/usr/lib/graphene-1.0/include/ -I /usr/include/libsoup-3.0/ -I /usr/include/atk-1.0/

I also changed the order to have `cc main.c -l...` and it dtill didn't work

atleast i would bet that header is for gtk 4

jade flicker
#

actually yeah that's probably why, I didn't notice the fact that gtk3 already linked to gobject

#

actually, nevermind

#

that does appear correct

#

my pkg-config says its correct

#

but yeah, use pkg-config

#

cc $(pkg-config --cflags --libs webkit2gtk) main.c

#

it really is weird that webkit2gtk-4.0 uses gtk 3 though
