I still fail to notice the problem in current instructions. They've been there for a while and no one yet has complained. Default WebKiTGTK+ instructions will build GTK+3 version since it is used (required) by far more packages than the GTK+2 one. That's why there is a note saying "this must be compiled with the GTK+ 2 backend for the Gimp to use it as its help browser". What's wrong with it? This just tries to point out that default WebKitGTK+ build won't work here. And on WebKitGTK+ page, there is a note in command explanations that says "--with-gtk=2.0 --disable-webkit2: These parameters force WebKitGTK+ to compile against GTK+ 2, even if GTK+ 3 is also installed." which (at least for me) clearly says that when you use these commands, WebKitGTK+ will be built against GTK+2. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
