CLI build depends on libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev

[urbantrout]

I tried building this package from source as described here: #310 (comment)

make deb should build a CLI-only version. But it still depends on libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev which means downloading and installing a lot of dependencies:

The question is: Is libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev really needed for a CLI-only version? I would rather not install 461MB of dependencies…

Environment:

• OS: Debian 12
• Shell: zsh

You may try to remove

GlobalProtect-openconnect/packaging/deb/control.in

Line 14 in a641453

libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev,

to see if it works for you.

[urbantrout]

Unfortunately this still requires installing other dependencies. E.g. libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev which needs 423 MB on my computer.

[yuezk]

libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev is required because the GP authentication part may rely on the embedded browser. You can try to just build the gpclient from the source code.

cargo build -p gpclient

[urbantrout]

Tried that. Did compile just fine. But running gpclient results in: Error: No such file or directory (os error 2)

It seems that gpauth is a dependency which again requires all the GTK libs.
