Description

Looking for guidance. On Debian 12, my Wails 2.7 app is asking for libwebkit2gtk to be installed. What are the version requirements? I want to include it in deb control file and I don't want to cause problems on other distros by being too specific?

Do you have any guidance there?

I think after I upgraded to Debian 12 I had a similar situation and just needed to upgrade that package. Here's my currently installed versions:

libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37/now 2.42.3-1~deb12u1 amd64 [installed,upgradable to: 2.42.4-1~deb12u1]
libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev/now 2.42.3-1~deb12u1 amd64 [installed,upgradable to: 2.42.4-1~deb12u1]
libwebkit2gtk-4.1-0/now 2.42.3-1~deb12u1 amd64 [installed,upgradable to: 2.42.4-1~deb12u1]

I've added that as a dependency in my Debian control file and it seems to be okay.

Depends: libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37

But, as my app is statically compiled go, I would like to avoid having to assemble separate versions for different distros. Keep it simple.

Is there a list of other packages that might be found missing that I have not uncovered yet? I'd like to include and test them now...

The dependencies for each platform are listed here: https://wails.io/docs/gettingstarted/installation

libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37 was not listed in the dependencies. Just curious if there are any others I will find out about after my software fails somewhere... I'm not complaining. Wails is fantastic!
