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.

    Is that webkit version outdated?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.

        Hm, I would contact upstream devs to support 2-4.1 then and find / create git repos for the missing libs, then include those as binaries in your manifest. This should avoid network access?
