Hello!
I am trying to create my first tauri app. And I get this error:

warning: `PKG_CONFIG_ALLOW_SYSTEM_CFLAGS="1" PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/lib/pkgconfig" "pkg-config" "--libs" "--cflags" "javascriptcoregtk-4.0" "javascriptcoregtk-4.0 >= 2.24"` did not exit successfully: exit status: 1

I have Webkit correctly installed in this path:

/usr/include/webkitgtk-6.0

It also contains javascriptcore:

Do you know why I get this error? How I can fix it?

/usr/include/webkitgtk-6.0
That's not correct. This webkit version is too new (iirc that's the gtk4 one)

Edit: You need 4.0

Why tauri doesnt support newer webkitgtk-6.0? Will it be ever supported?

twin verge
#

our docs say to just install net-libs/webkit-gtk:4 so i hope that works and selects 4.0

twin verge
#

Tauri v2 will upgrade to 4.1 but it has to be a major version since it raises our minimum linux version from ubuntu 18.04 (and some users used centos 7 too iirc) to ubuntu 22.04!

#

An update to 6.0 / gtk4 is not planned in the near future. Not only is it a ton of work to rewrite our gtk stack, we would also loose features like system trays
