[Linux] failed compilation of dependency: javascriptcore-rs

[Houkime]

OS: Arch Linux (6.4.1 kernel)
/usr/lib/libjavascriptcoregtk-4.0.so is present as a part of webkit2gtk (btw, list it as a dep maybe)
but it misses a pkg-config file so the compilation fails because it depends on it.

Tried:
cargo build --release

output:

warning: `PKG_CONFIG_ALLOW_SYSTEM_CFLAGS="1" "pkg-config" "--libs" "--cflags" "javascriptcoregtk-4.1" "javascriptcoregtk-4.1 >= 2.24"` did not exit successfully: exit status: 1

error: failed to run custom build command for `javascriptcore-rs-sys v0.5.1`

Caused by:
  process didn't exit successfully: `/home/user/Ebou/target/release/build/javascriptcore-rs-sys-e2aec79b2d46c4e2/build-script-build` (exit status: 1)

Can you try and see if the AUR package works? The dependency in question is webkit2gtk-4.1 (webkit2gtk is a different package on Arch Linux)

[Houkime]

AUR package works (there is a different bug on login, but it compiles and runs)

[terhechte]

@Houkime did you get it to work? I was able to run it without issues on PopOS

pacman -S pacman -S extra/webkit2gtk-4.1 solves that issue, but then we run into some import errors in navicula.

Following the AUR building with cargo build --release makes it progress much further. You might also need to set the C compiler using CC.

And finally if the ld command says it can't find xdo you're missing the xdotool.
