Summary0002781: make fails on attempt to find gtk+ library
DescriptionAttempting to install 3.10 on Ubuntu 20.04, from source

following the Read.md - http://source.netsurf-browser.org/netsurf.git/plain/docs/quick-start.md

at 'Build and run Netsurf'
make fails with

$make
...... output....
PKG.CNFG: GTK-3 (gtk+-3.0) failed

frontends/gtk/Makefile:46: *** Unable to find library for: GTK-3 (gtk+-3.0). Stop.


Attempted workaround (below) partially successful, but then produced an error I don't have the knowledge to investigate.


Steps To Reproduce
Follow steps in : http://source.netsurf-browser.org/netsurf.git/plain/docs/quick-start.md , as far as
'Build and run Netsurf'

~/dev-netsurf/workspace/netsurf$ make

fails as above.
PKG.CNFG: GTK-3 (gtk+-3.0) failed
frontends/gtk/Makefile:46: *** Unable to find library for: GTK-3 (gtk+-3.0). Stop.
=======================
Additional Informationuname -a
Linux AORUS 5.4.0-37-generic #41-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jun 3 18:57:02 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Attempted workaround:
I replaced line 46 in the gtk/Makefile - with this:
$(eval $(call pkg config find and add,libgtk-3-0:amd64, GTK-$(NETSURF_GTK_MAJOR)))

Compilation then proceeded until:
 COMPILE: desktop/version.c
 COMPILE: frontends/gtk/about.c
In file included from frontends/gtk/about.c:35:
frontends/gtk/compat.h:29:10: fatal error: gtk/gtk.h: No such file or directory
   29 | #include <gtk/gtk.h>
      | ^~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
make: *** [Makefile:867: build/Linux-gtk3/frontends_gtk_about.o] Error 1

searching for gtk.h in the subdirectories below /dev-netsurf/workspace/ produced no result, if that is helpful

I installed the dev gtk3 library

$sudo apt install libgtk-3-dev

and install proceeds until:

"make: *** No rule to make target 'content/fetchers/file.h', needed by 'build/Linux-gtk3/content_fetch.o'. Stop."

Looking through the file system under workspace, I can see file.h is here

~/..../dev-netsurf/workspace/netsurf/content/fetchers/file/file.h

so another directory down from where make is looking for it?

looks like you were missing build dependancies which you have resolved. This has left your working tree in a dirty state

use make clean (instead of make install) and you may make more progress
