qt-wpe-simple-browser installation failed

[VLacr.1]

Hello,

I am trying to set up a web browser on my STM32MP157F-DK2 board.

Following https://wiki.st.com/stm32mpu/wiki/How_to_install_a_simple_web_browser.

I tried:

root@stm32mp15-disco:~# apt-get install qt-wpe-simple-browser
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package qt-wpe-simple-browser

apt-get update was successful. 

Using apt-search doesn't locate the package.

However, source.list file seems properly configured.

Any clue would be appreciated.

Best Regards,

Vincent

Hello @Jean-Marc B ,

Thanks for your help.

I have successfully executed the different steps you have listed and obtained the same result.

Now if i try to compile the application

bitbake qt-wpe-simple-browser

I obtain the following error during the do_configure step:

Hi @VLacr.1 

This is more or less related to Qt and I am not a Qt expert!

I would recommend to switch to the ecosystem 5.0.0 which has the default meta-qt5 integration and add the meta-webkit layer. Perhaps it would help you.

Best regards,

Hello @Jean-Marc B ,

Ok.

Thanks to the previous step, I have built an image with WPE and COG. I can use the latest as a web browser (instead of  qt-simple-web-browser) so it is fine for my initial need.

I then think we can close the ticket. Thanks again for your help. 

Best Regards,

Vincent

Hi @Jean-Marc B @VLacr.1 

I used the same method and complete the build process without error , but when i launch the qt-wpe-simple-browser, it will give me the error, wpewebkit-qtwpe-qml-plugin not installed 
can you please let me know where i am missing ,
then i include this line into local.conf

MAGE_INSTALL:append = " wpewebkit-qtwpe-qml-plugin qt-wpe-simple-browser"

again i attempt to build , but unsuccessful on do_rootfs, and error " wpewebkit-qtwpe-qml-plugin dev not found no such file"
please let me know any other method to do this ?
