Webkit2gtk-4.0 not found

[Robert Puza]

I compile on linux. webkit2gtk-4.0 was not found. what am i doing wrong? I compile without ipp - without Faust. can someone give me the complete text that I have to enter in the terminal?
I'm working on the latest Linux Mint

I copied the whole thing into the terminal. is that not enough?

I followed the steps of this README. isn't that enough?

I don't understand it. Do I have to do something else that is not written in this README?

@Robert-Puza need Christoph to merge this https://github.com/christophhart/HISE/pull/560

Or use my fork

Also you need to use g++ 11 or earlier

@Robert-Puza Any time you are compiling something on Linux and you get a "package not found" error or something of that sort, the first thing to do is check if your distro has a slightly different name for the package and install it. Some distros include "lib" at the start of library packages, some don't, sometimes there's a - in one distro but not in another. This is why instructions don't always include one line you can copy paste to install dependencies: each distro needs a slightly different list.

As you're on Mint, you use apt. I would type "apt search webkit2gtk" and see what comes up. I believe Mint does have the package, but the correct name is actually "libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev", which is why it didn't get installed when you copied the line from the readme.

Either way, using David's fork is a good idea.
