How to get "WebKit for GTK+3 1.3.7" headers for ubuntu?

i'm trying to compile pidgin on ubuntu (mint 17, actually).

./configure says:

"You must have WebKit for GTK+3 1.3.7 or newer development headers"

but which ubuntu package contains this version?

i have several packages named "webkit" or "gtk", and i tried to locate and install other versions, but couldn't find it.

i downloaded the pidgin and webkit sources, but i don't know how to connect them.

(the pidgin support registration seems offline -> hence, here.)

I have a Debian system but perhaps you can do the same :) First, see what you get with this command on a terminal:

aptitude search webkit |grep gtk

It will shows you all the packages you can install (or already installed) on your system, linking webkit and gtk.

Then you select the package you need : libwebkitgtk-3.0-dev in your case (on Debian)

Hope this helped, See you !

I don't know if this helps but checkout WebKitGTK+. Also this can help, do you have run

$ Tools/gtk/install-dependencies

or the other commands listed on the page?
