[Gambas-user] build query about webkit2gtk

[Tim Dickson]

great news, thanks for looking at that. The issue is the webkit2gtk 
4.0api uses libsoup2 and the 4.1 api uses libsoup3. Because you can't 
have a single binary that links to two different versions of the same 
functions, it causes problems if one component requires 4.0 and another 
requires 4.1. Provided the build scripts can handle either version, I 
won't have to worry that when distros change it breaks things. I'll just 
add the info that it works with either lib in the readme.
regards, Tim
