In general I done all steps from WPEWebkit readme to launch WPE on Ubuntu 16.04.
Prerequisites and dependencies (Tools/Scripts/update-webkitwpe-libs
) installed without errors.
Release build compiled (Tools/Scripts/build-webkit --wpe
) without errors.
In first terminal I executed: weston --socket=wpe
. Weston Window shown.
In second terminal: WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wpe Tools/Scripts/run-minibrowser --wpe
. Terminal displays only: "Starting MiniBrowser." and hangs. Nothing appeared on Weston Window.
In htop
command I see MiniBrowser
, WPENetworkProcess
and WPEWebProcess
but each of them has in VIRT column very big values: about 97GB.
I also tried to use this script from trac.webkit.org, with the same result.
After upgrading to Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, WPEWebKit works correctly on XOrg (with weston --socket=wpe
) and Wayland.
