Hi! Is someone working in bindings for WebKit-Gtk? It seems like a better alternative to moz-embed. It allready has bindings for C#, Python, and Vala. Thanks!

Awesome, thanks for sharing Philipp! I was wondering about whether someone had looked into creating bindings for Webkit/GTK+ yet.

Anyone by chance knows where ruby webkit can be found now? The link at the ~beginning no longer seems to work. ---

How can i install webkit gem? ---

[http://ppibburr.heliohost.org/doc/index.html](http://ppibburr.heliohost.org/doc/index.html) is some rdoc for a new fork of rbwebkitgtk. [http://github.com/ppibburr/rbwebkitgtk](http://github.com/ppibburr/rbwebkitgtk) is the source. However these are ‘stable’, it seems that installation is not streamed-lined yet. The c code is auto-generated from a custom code generator wrote in ruby. These bindings bind not only the webkit api but as well the gdom glib bindings to webkit. That means DOM, events, XmlHttpRequests etc … Cheers, ppibburr. ---

If so, you may be missing the webkit gtk development files (package libwebkitgtk-dev on Debian/Ubuntu). You can check by running “pkg-config --modversion webkit-1.0” (without the quotes), which should report a version number (e.g. 1.10.2). If that’s not the problem, if you can attach the mkmf.log, it should contain more clues as to why the install failed. HTH, ## Geoff.

Already i had installed “libwebkitgtk-dev” and i had installed gem. I use Ubuntu 12.10. “pkg-config --modversion webkit-1.0” command give “1.10.0” output. I added Webkit mkmf.log file. ---

Hi, You’re running the same version of Ubuntu as me - so that should be fine 🙂 I’ve found an error that occurs with the default compilation flags on the system ruby install on Ubuntu 12.10 (I use rvm/gems for everything). Could you try the latest version? gem install -v 0.0.5 gtk-webkit-ruby If it doesn’t fix it, could please you attach the output of gem\_make.out from the install directory? Thanks, Geoff. ---
