Subject: [Buildroot] [PATCH 1/2] package/wpewebkit: add dependencies to fontconfig & freetype
Date: Wed, 18 Feb 2026 20:58:11 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260218195812.2983207-1-bernd@kuhls.net> (raw)

Buildroot commit 2882cf4ae649f7d5e9cee72f84e672328f550845 bumped the
package from 2.44.4 to 2.48.3. This bump includes upstream commit
https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/commit/3b54e45d63b84f8ab8d70179184c45be78386622
which was added to wpewebkit 2.45.1:
https://wpewebkit.org/release/wpewebkit-2.45.1.html
"Use Skia by default instead of Cairo for rendering."

The upstream commit includes dependencies to fontconfig & freetype which
were not added to buildroot and cause build errors with this defconfig:
