Tizen studio bypass webkitgtk dependency
Raw
bypass-webkitgtk-tizen.md

The deprecated Tizen Studio app has a dependency on webkitgtk package that doesn't exist anymore on modern fedora distributions/repos

Here is a small "script" to trick the tizen studio installer into thinking it's installed by creating a wrapper for the rpm command. Just paste this to your terminal:

MOCK_BIN=$(mktemp -d)

cat << 'EOF' > "$MOCK_BIN/rpm"
#!/bin/bash

if [[ "$@" == "-qi webkitgtk" ]]; then
    echo "Name        : webkitgtk"
else
    /usr/bin/rpm "$@"
fi
EOF

chmod +x "$MOCK_BIN/rpm"

Then set the PATH, and run the installer:

export PATH="$MOCK_BIN:$PATH"

chmod +x ./tizenstudio.bin

./tizenstudio.bin
