Dinghy

Dinghy is a small single “window” launcher for the WebKit WPE port. It is small, provides no user interface, and is suitable to be used as a Web application container. The “window” may be fullscreen depending on the WPE backend being used.

This project provides the following components:

  • libdinghycore is a library with ready-to-use components typically needed for implementing applications which use the WebKit WPE/GTK+ API.

  • dinghy is the launcher itself, implemented using the libdinghycore library.

  • dinghyctl is a tool which can be used to control a dinghy instance using the D-Bus session bus.

Dependencies

  • WebKit WPE, or WebKitGTK+ 2.18.x when building with DY_USE_WEBKITGTK.
  • WPEBackend.
  • GLib 2.40 or newer.

Using Dinghy

Compiling Dinghy follows the usual procedure for projects which use CMake: cmake . && make should get you started, if your system has the needed dependencies installed.

Documentation for libdinghycore is currently unavailable, and contributions in this regard are very welcome.
