I’m trying to package and publish a tool I’ve been working on, but for the life of me, I’m struggling with Flatpak.

It’s a wails app, that relies on webkit2-4.0 and some additional libraries that are not present in any of the Sdks I’m using. (javascriptcore, etc…)

To get those libs, I tried building the app AND webkit itself against the specific platform. But since webkit takes such a long time to build, I’m running in circles.

Welp.

I’ve been trying for a while, looking up other manifests helped me but I’m still lost on a few things. Maybe we could help each other. I am the creator of open-tv.

I managed to get it somehow working, but it got rejected by Flathub, because they don’t want me to build webkit and use the network during build (which I need)

I’m working on resticity, a restic frontend.

Is that webkit version outdated? In general you should try to support one of the supported versions.

TBH I’m fairly new to this. Gnome 45 sandbox has webkit2-4.1, while my PC build uses webkit2-4.0. Now, Gnome 3.38 sandbox has webkit2-4.0, but it still doesn’t run, due to missing libs. And I don’t know how to put everything together, so it works without having to re-build everything.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
