Hello, I have tried following the instructions to add meta-webkit to my kas build, and got the following error:

I am using branch main for meta-webkit. I have seen issue #88 but I am not sure how it applies or if it applies to this issue. Any help is appreciated! Thank you!

WebKitGTK support was removed from cog. If you want a WebKitGTK browser you can build MiniBrowser maybe. If you want to keep using Cog, you need to add wpewebkit to your image.

Thanks @philn ! I can try removing cog to see if that works. To clarify, for our specific case, we need the libwebkit2gtk-4.0 for building a custom application. I was following the example from the wiki : https://github.com/Igalia/meta-webkit/wiki/WebKitGTK

Update: it looks like if you remove cog from the above example the build succeeds! Any chance the documentation can be updated in the wiki to remove cog since it does not seem to work with webkitgtk?

Done!
