Debian 12 x64 RapaGUI HTMLView installation problem

Post by mbergmann-hd »

Hi,

I'm on Debian 12 "Bookworm" x64, using Hollywood X. Tried to install RapaGUI with HTMLview, both from /RapaGUI_Linux/Plugins/gtk2/x64/htmlview and /RapaGUI_Linux/Plugins/gtk3/x64/htmlview, copying rapagui.hwp to /Hollywood/Plugins/. RapaGUI plugin only shows up in Hollywood if I choose the gtk3 nohtmlview plugin, so I guess gtk3 must already be installed. Now if I compile HTMLView example, Hollywood moans: error creatin MOAI object "HTMLView". The Program can't be started (obviously I don't have HTMLView then...).

I might have missed some dependencies for Gtk. What packages am I supposed to install in order to get it working?

Thanks for any hints!

i have no linux background but manau lsays htmlview reguires WebKitGTK+
which afaik is a special gtk3 (or gtk2) compile WITH gtk+ build in
on top of that two rapagui plugins exist one for gtk+ and one without

so you need 1) gtk3 with gtk+ and 2) rapagui plugin for gtk+

Gtk+ is a C++ wrapper around gtk and is installed in Versions 4 and 6 on Debian Linux 12. I'm pretty sure I've installed all of it I could find in the repo - unfortunately there is no dedicated HTMLViev-gtk+ in the repos, so it must be part of something else on debian 12. The problem still persists.

Since Hollywood plugins are just shared objects on Linux you can always use readelf to check the components required by a Hollywood plugin. The GTK3 build of RapaGUI with HTMLview requires libwebkitgtk-3.0.so.0. Have you got that?
