[wpe-webkit] meta-webkit WPEFramework

[Adrian Perez de Castro]

Hello Mike,

First of all, sorry for not replying before — I was waiting to see if someone
else who is more in touch daily with WPEFramework would reply first. I'll try
to give you some pointers; please check the comment inline below.

As far as *I understand*, WPEFramework is usually built with the WPE WebKit
fork at https://github.com/WebPlatformForEmbedded/WPEWebKit — and there is
a recipe in meta-webkit for it, in the “wpewebkit_downstream.bb”, so you
may want to use that instead.

This probably happens because the downstream WPEWebKit repository is still
based on version 2.20.x, while by default I think that meta-webkit will use
an official 2.22.x tarball release. There is a “wpe-2.22” [1] the downstream
repository but I do not know whether WPEFramework is supposed to work with
it. Maybe someone else can shed some light here?

Like I wrote above, hopefully this points you in the good direction, but
again please keep in mind that I have not been using WPEFramework and the
notes above may be completely wrong O:-)

Don't doubt asking if you still get stuck. Oh, and we are often hanging
out in the #webkit channel in the Freenode IRC, so feel free to stop by.

Best regards,
