Error: Package javascriptcoregtk-3.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.

[hyp530]

There's an error when package webkit2 is imported as follows. Could you kindly help with it? It seems that I need to install package javascriptcoregtk-3.0 for my windows 7 (64bit) , but I don't know how to do it.

Errors:

c:/go/bin/go.exe build [D:/Desktop/All_Projects/test]

pkg-config --cflags javascriptcoregtk-3.0

Package javascriptcoregtk-3.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `javascriptcoregtk-3.0.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'javascriptcoregtk-3.0' found exit status 1

You know, I have never done this on Windows. Are you generally familiar with pkgconfig and cgo on Windows? If so, a good place to start would be figuring out how to get go-webkit2 to compile and run. If not, let me know.

I got the same error on elementary os which is linux operating system.

(on Arch Linux): I just installed webkitgtk (v 2.4.9-2) which contains /usr/lib/libjavascriptcoregtk-3.0.so . Now I'm getting:

No package 'webkit2gtk-3.0' found

I found this link (I don't remember the source, sorry) which suggests:

sed -i "s|webkit2gtk-3.0|webkit2gtk-4.0|g" configure.ac

There is also this file in my file system:

/usr/lib/libwebkit2gtk-4.0.so

which belongs to webkit2gtk package (v 2.10.3-2). Is this a version mismatch?

At this point I've got nothing :disappointed:. I hope someone can resolve this issue.

Thank you

I have the same issue on Arch linux. As mentioned before, it seems to be a version incompatibility:

[mx@sentinel ~]$ pkg-config --cflags javascriptcoregtk-4.0
-I/usr/include/webkitgtk-4.0 -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include
[mx@sentinel ~]$ 
[mx@sentinel ~]$ 
[mx@sentinel ~]$ pkg-config --cflags javascriptcoregtk-3.0
Package javascriptcoregtk-3.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `javascriptcoregtk-3.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'javascriptcoregtk-3.0' found

I tried to create a symlink and it seems to work now:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/pkgconfig/javascriptcoregtk-4.0.pc /usr/lib/pkgconfig/javascriptcoregtk-3.0.pc
