Has anyone had any luck using this component on Linux? Code from the JuceDemo makes me thing this component might not available on Linux? ` case showWebBrowser: result.setInfo ("Web Browser", "Shows the web browser demo", demosCategory, 0); result.addDefaultKeypress ('i', ModifierKeys::commandModifier); result.setTicked (currentDemoId == showWebBrowser); #if (! JUCE_WEB_BROWSER) || JUCE_LINUX result.setActive (true); #endif break; ` I use this component on Windows and OSX to show an integrated help file. Can this be done on Linux using Juce? If not has anyone any ideas of what I could use instead? ---

It’s not implemented for Linux. There is no good solution to this on Linux, unfortunately. I spent some time trying to find something to integrate with JUCE but no luck. ---

[quote=“sonic59”]Chromium Embedded Framework didn’t work? [http://code.google.com/p/chromiumembedded/[/quote]](http://code.google.com/p/chromiumembedded/%5B/quote%5D) I was looking at that a few months ago, but was scared off by the hundreds of dependencies and complex build environment. It’s not a quick drop-in solution, like the IE browser control in Windows. But very interesting ofc. @Rory: If you do try it, please report your experience back here! ---

I’m not sure I’m going to put too much time into this, it might just be better in the long run to launch a browser using a some kind of system command. If I find a better solution I’ll let you know. Rory. ---

Hi, Just a short notice that I am currently integrating the Chromium Embedded Framework into my Juce project. I was writting about my progress on the CEF forum (unfortunately, nobody was there for help): http://www.magpcss.org/ceforum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=11367 For now I have basic support for launching a Chromium window from my Juce application and openign a Juce window from a chromium one using a custom URI schema. I will try now to embed directly a CEF view as Juce component into my Juce application, but this looks difficult. I will be investigating offscreen rendering. ---

Hi - Have you made any further progress?  I'm hoping to integrate a web browser component on LInux, and just noticed it doesn't work at all. ---

bump. would be great to get a working webbrowser component on linux. I don't know much about linux programming but would webkit be an option in a JUCE app? ---

We’ve now added preliminary support for the WebBrowser component on linux. Please take it for a spin and let us know about any bugs you encounter. ---

Thanks Fabian. This is a welcome update. I can now integrate my HTML help files directly into my application. I’ll let you know if I have any issues. ---

It seems that the mouse wheel doesn’t scroll the content on Linux as it does on OSX and Windows.
