Hi,
Just want to share how I got Archi working including Hints on Gentoo and Funtoo.
I am using the 64 bit version of both OS and Archi. I have multilib enabled (i.e. a lib will be built both for 64 and 32 bit applications. I run KDE 5 as desktop environment.
I used to have problem with the Hints window that failed to load a proper version of the libWebKit-GTK-1.0.0, i.e. API generation 1.
The module to emerge (install) in Gentoo/Funtoo is net-libs/webkit-gtk:2. This missing version refer to the API version, not the lib version. This actual package installed was net-libs/webkit-gtk-2.4.9-r200.
The general default dependency are to net-libs/webkit-gtk:4, which seems to refere to API generation 3 while API generation 2 seems to be lesser used.
I restarted Archi and Hints are now working as expected.
Worht mention that I used to have big problems compile this module for a long period of time. I always got compilation error. That was when I used Gentoo while I am now using Funtoo. Major difference is that I used the stable version (amd64) of Gentoo and am using the testing version (~amd64) in Funtoo.
Regards,
Erik
Hi Erik,
thanks for this. Do you know if this is an Eclipse or SWT issue? Is this something that might be fixed in later versions of Eclipse?

Sorry, I don't know.
Let me see how much of effort it is to test eclipse latest version towards the default version of webkit-gtk (i.e. latest stable version using API generation 3). I will come back but it may take some time. I have a plan on how to do it :)
Is it a big task to rebuild Archi towards a later version of Eclipse?

Thanks Erik.

Archi is built on Eclipse 4.4. Unfortunately there a few bugs in Eclipse 4.5 and later that for some reason they will not fix. For example, I don't think many users would appreciate menu items appearing twice - https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=485931 - or where the Properties window becomes "dirty" when changing a model so that when you close the Properties window it asks you to save your model - https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=372799
