Importing webkit or any lib function

I want to use WebKitUserContentManager functions:
https://webkitgtk.org/reference/webkit2 ... nager.html
For example webkit_user_content_manager_new()
after sudo apt-get install libwebkitgtk-3.0-dev
i tried:
Code: Select all
importc "-lwebkitgtk-3.0"
webkit_user_content_manager_new_() as "webkit_user_content_manager_new"
endimport
but the compiler throws undefined reference to webkit_user_content_manager_new
i guess -lwebkitgtk-3.0 is not the right lib?

i also tried:
sudo apt-get install libwebkit2gtk-3.0-dev
Code: Select all
ImportC "-lwebkit2gtk-3.0"
webkit_user_content_manager_new()
EndImport
with the same results.
any hints?

WebKitUserContentManager is a class of WebKit
2GTK+ and is not contained in WebKitGTK. Therefore you have to use WebKit
2GTK.
While WebKitGTK+ can be compiled against either GTK+2 or GTK+3, WebKit
2GTK depends solely on GTK+3 and the most current library filename is libwebkit2gtk-4.0.so. So in order to execute functions of the
WebKitUserContentManager, you should install the developer version of libwebkit2gtk-4.0:
sudo apt-get install libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev
After the installation of the developer version the following import and function call works on my Xubuntu 18.04 x86 with Xfce:
Code: Select all
ImportC "-lwebkit2gtk-4.0"
webkit_user_content_manager_new()
EndImport
Debug webkit_user_content_manager_new()
If you should still have difficulties: it's always easier to help if you would state your Linux distribution and desktop environment...

Hi shardik, that did it, thanks!
At least in xfce last version, in an old Mint 17 mate i still get a linker error, i have probably messed up that distro, i will update.

I have just also tried it on an Ubuntu MATE 16.04 x86 with Mate and Linux Mint 18.3 x64 'Sylvia' with Cinnamon. After installing libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev as described above the import worked like a charm.
