Description

Could you please add WebView support to the wxWidgets package?

This should be possible through the

--enable-webview

configure flag.
I am trying to build BOINC with a GUI and the build stopped because the wxwidgets(-devel) package has no WebView support right now...

Can't do this until gtk3 is enabled by default

It might be the right time for it?

Echoing flyingP0tat0, I am trying to package OpenCPN, and am running up against this issue as well.

The webview can't currently be added to the 32-bit version of wxWidgets because webkit-gtk isn't built in 32-bit:

/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-solus-linux/10/../../../libwebkit2gtk-4.0.so when searching for -lwebkit2gtk-4.0

So are we making webkit-gtk support multilib or enabling the webview only in the 64-bit version of wxWidgets?

@livingsilver94 I don't know of a compelling reason to enable it in the 32-bit version
