LibWeb for GTK

LibWeb is the SerenityOS Browser Engine that powers the ladybird browser.

It's a new, independent, and portable browser engine that is making incredible progress.

LibWebGTK is akin to WebKitGTK in that it wraps LibWeb for embedding inside GTK based applications.

Building

Clone the repo and check out submodules

git clone ...
git submodule update --init --recursive

Command Line

Make a new directory Build in the repository root.

From inside that directory, run:

cmake .. -GNinja
ninja run demo-browser

CLion Setup

Open the project in CLion and load the CMake file in the repository root.

Find the run configuration named run, edit it, set demo-browser as the executable.

You are now ready to build and run libweb-gtk.

macOS

On macOS, you will also need icu4c in your path. Set the following environment variable

# Intel
PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/opt/icu4c/lib/pkgconfig"

# M1
PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/icu4c/lib/pkgconfig"

You can do this in your CMake profile in CLion, or as part of your .zshrc.

See: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/clion/cmake-profile.html#EnvVariables

Debugging

On macOS, there is no gdb. Instead, use ninja debug-lldb.
