This is working fine on a manylinux2014 machine with juce7 branch, but it fails now on juce8:
juce_graphics.cpp fatal error ft2build.h No such file or directory
does anything changed there ?
I was able to fix it

What was the issue out of interest?
In some linux distros ft2build.h is located at /usr/include/freetype2 maybe it would be great if juce could detect it with __has_include() and use the one that is found

Could you give an example of a distro that does that please? Just so if we take a look we can easily reproduce. Thanks.
I will be likely switching over to a more recent one tho

I’m still getting troubles building juce8 on older distros:

this path should be returned by pkgconf --cflags gtk+-x11-3.0 do you have this devel package installed? looks like it’s mandatory now

What if you install webkit2gtk devel? There is inconsistency with versions, webkit2gtk-4.0 is deprecated and perhaps you have to change it to 4.1 in extras/Build/CMake/JUCEUtils.cmake and install webkit2gtk-4.1 devel package, like described here: [Bug]: Switch from webkit2gtk 4.0 to 4.1 · Issue #1377 · juce-framework/JUCE · GitHub
but why should i need this ? i disabled the webviews thing from my cmake configuration
same thing

Well i don’t think webkit2gtk-4.1 is available in the distro i’m targeting (based off RHEL8), but not sure if this will make any difference, since this code is around freetype includes in juce
I got similar error (missing freetype includes) and had to add this package to build JUCE8. It was on openSUSE. I’ll check it with Fedora.
I think that since adding WebUI in JUCE8 juceide wants this package.
juce seems to check for 4.0 (Checking for modules 'webkit2gtk-4.0...), does the issue mean that i have to install 4.1 instead ?
It should work with 4.0, if you have it.
The issue means that JUCE wants 4.1 here WebBrowserComponent: Linux: Add support for libwebkit2gtk-4.1 · juce-framework/JUCE@2516ad8 · GitHub but still looks for 4.0 here JUCE/extras/Build/CMake/JUCEUtils.cmake at 61a03097ec9e01693c87ac71935e97b9714cff1a · juce-framework/JUCE · GitHub
But then i don’t understand the unless 'JUCE_WEB_BROWSER=0' which i’m setting. JUCE should not rely on these dependencies being present if one doesn’t want the web browser
'JUCE_WEB_BROWSER=0' doesn’t affect juceide afaik, as it’s not a JUCE app/plugin.
the error throws when you compile the juceide binary
Well, then it’s a problem of juceaide and should be fixed. Why juceaide needs a web browser or even compile fonts code ?!
We’re looking into this problem, but I don’t believe the webkitgtk library version change has anything to do with these compile failures.
