wx, gtk, and ~~perhaps~~ certainly more

Progress.md

I don't know if it works. Perhaps I should try Hyper-V'ing ArchLinux?

• We should use the big full wxWidget tarball
• We should make everything in one PKGBUILD, so qt, gtk2/3, xft...
• fill in the blanks
  • some makedepends
  • all these packages should 'provide' to a virtual package called wxWidgets or so
  • some pkgdep
    • wxbase =-synced version
  • pkgdesc
• wxconfig
• wxbase rename
• wxgui rename
• indent the PKGBUILD way: tabs (github replaced everything with spaces) (my fault)

Just a notice:
Gtk2 requires WebkitGtk2, Gtk3 requires WebkitGtk.
My Arch installation has another package named Webkit2Gtk, I do not know that it is.

doing some cleanup and checking wxbase file list.

back to looking at the deps (not really).

My Arch installation has another package named Webkit2Gtk, I do not know that it is.

That's really webkitgtk4, the new generation, or the 2.8+ branch.
