Hey all,
I just noticed that webkitgtk3 depends on GTK2. I wonder why the specific GTK3 version of webkit, depends on GTK2?
I quickly skimmed over Fedora and Debian's dependencies, and they do not depend on GTK2. This made me try recompling webkitgtk3 (took a while ), removing GTK2 and voilà; it works. (well, of course it works, since GTK2 is still installed on my system - but it compiled fine and without errors; which makes me think GTK2 is not a dependency of webkitgtk3)
So, just a quick question: why does webkitgtk3 depend on GTK2?
Thanks!
PS: sorry if this is the wrong subforum - I couldn't find a better one to ask this.

Look at the pkgbuild - this one pkgbuild compiles twice, because it's convenient - for gtk2, then for gtk3.
Anyway, for anyone not in a gtk3-only environment, gtk3 depends on gtk2, if only for /usr/bin/gtk-update-icon-cache (IIRC).
Also, gtk3 gets compiled with --enable-gtk2-dependency - my old notes about this mention "Need introspection for libpeas, for eog 3.4.2" - if that helps

In that case, shouldn't the GTK2 dependency belong to GTK3, instead of webkit?

I suppose so.
