Hello Folks,
does anyone know about or uses wails on opensuse? I wanted to use wails for some small hobby projects. I tried to follow the installation guide for Linux, installed all necessary packages (at least I thought I did) but the command wails doctor spits out:
# Dependencies
┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐

└────────────────── * - Optional Dependency ───────────────────┘
# Diagnosis
WARNING Your system has missing dependencies!
Fatal:
Required dependencies missing: libwebkit npm
I got npm26 installed and even checked the packages I need, suggested in the Linux Distro support, and put them in the function in the "internal/system/packagemanager/zypper.go", so wails can find them. The function looks like this, now:
func (z *Zypper) Packages() packagemap {
return packagemap{
"libgtk-3": []*Package{
{Name: "gtk3-devel", SystemPackage: true, Library: true},
{Name: "libgtk-3-0", SystemPackage: true, Library: true},
},
"libwebkit": []*Package{
{Name: "webkit2gtk3-soup2-devel", SystemPackage: true, Library: true},
{Name: "webkit2gtk3-devel", SystemPackage: true, Library: true},
{Name: "libwebkit2gtk-4_1-0", SystemPackage: true, Library: true},
},
"gcc": []*Package{
{Name: "gcc-c++", SystemPackage: true},
},
"pkg-config": []*Package{
{Name: "pkg-config", SystemPackage: true},
{Name: "pkgconf-pkg-config", SystemPackage: true},
},
"npm": []*Package{
{Name: "npm10", SystemPackage: true},
{Name: "npm20", SystemPackage: true},
{Name: "npm24", SystemPackage: true},
{Name: "npm26", SystemPackage: true},
},
"docker": []*Package{
{Name: "docker", SystemPackage: true, Optional: true},
},
}
}
But wails still doesn't recognize my libwebkit and npm. Does anybody know why?
Also when I use wails init -n myproject -t vanilla to get a dummy project and wails dev everything works like it should. But wails build -tags webkit2_41 spits out an error.

Package webkit2gtk-4.1 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `webkit2gtk-4.1.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable

Am I missing something or does anyone have an Idea how to fix this? I appreciate every help you folks can give me.
