emerge hotot

Since Hotot core is largely based on HTML5, JavaScript and Webkit technology, It can be run under many Webkit implementations. Hotot officially supports Gtk, Qt, and Chrome webkit wrapper.

Dependencies:

Common Requirements:

• cmake
• intltool

Qt Wrapper

• Qt4 (newer than 4.7)
• KDE Libs (optional, for better KDE integration)

Gtk2 Wrapper

• python2
• pygtk
• python-webkit
• python-keybinder (optional)

Gtk3 Wrapper

• python-gobject (for gtk3 wrapper)
• gtk3
• libwebkit3

On Ubuntu 11.10 all of these resources are available in the standard repositories.

$ sudo apt-get install libqt4-dev cmake intltool

$ cd {source-directory}
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make

To install as root:

sudo make install

This will install Hotot in the default prefix: /usr/local, in order to change to a different prefix, use: -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/prefix/you/want

By default gtk with gir, and qt will be built.

The following options can be applied, with On/Off as value.

• -DWITH_GTK build gtk version
• -DWITH_GIR build gir(gtk3) version (need gtk enabled)
• -DWITH_QT build qt version
• -DWITH_KDE build qt with kde support
• -DWITH_CHROME build chrome with mk-chrome-app.sh, will be placed under build directory/chrome/hotot-chrome.zip, need rsync

For example, to just build gtk with gir rather than qt, the cmake command will be:

$ cmake -DWITH_QT=off ..

To build on Arch, use: -DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/python2

There is something about a Gtk version in Python using some sort of "distutils".
