To Install libwkhtmltox

##To Install libwkhtmltox

  • Clone the wkhtmltopdf repo git clone --recursive https://github.com/wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltopdf.git
  • You need the fpm gem to install sudo gem install fpm --no-ri --no-rdoc - it will be installed in /usr/bin so make sure that's in your path.
  • Checkout the latest release tag IE git checkout tags/0.12.2.
  • In the directory and run scripts/build.py osx-cocoa-x86-64(this will take a while! You're building Qt)
  • If you get an error like: error: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/install_name_tool: can't open file: bin/libwkhtmltox.0.12.2.2.dylib (No such file or directory) all you need to do is match the version in the VERSION file in the base directory to the number between libwkhtmltox. and .dylib of the compiled file in static-build/osx-cocoa-x86-64/app/bin
  • If you're not on OS X, refer to INSTALL.md in the wkhtmltopdf repo for build instructions.
  • This should put the linked library in your path!
