Thank you for your interest, I really appreciate it.
I am so sorry but I'm not sure that WebArchives can works on it, because WebArchives uses Gtk+ features that are missing in the 3.10.8
version of Gtk+ used by Ubuntu 14.04, the flatpaked version of Gtk+ on which WebArchives development is based being 3.22.30
.
I am focusing exclusively on the Flatpak environment for the moment, until I have integrated all the features I consider essential to WebArchives.
After this phase, I will consider deploying it directly on major distributions like Ubuntu & Debian.
Sorry...
I close this ticket knowing that flatpak is becoming a solution of choice for the installation of apps under Linux, with the appearance of an official Mozilla support for Firefox.
Likewise, AppImage is becoming a solution of choice for the installation of apps under Linux, with the appearance of e.g., an official LibreOffice support for LibreOffice. Among many others.
I agree, the choice to support only Flatpak as a deployment method is arbitrary, I assume.
This method is much simpler, flexible, easily maintainable and targets more than 20 different distributions without worrying about the specificities of each distribution.
In terms of time invested and efficiency I can hardly see any better.
Sorry 🙂
Can you please give step-by-step instructions on how to compile web-archives on Ubuntu 14.04, the currently oldest still-supported version of Ubuntu? Thank you very much.
