Webkit based WebBrowser written in #Mono (C#) + #Firebird Step 1

I will start with this simple example


Install monodevelop and the mono.webkit (aka webkit-sharp)

sudo apt-get install gtk-sharp2 libwebkit1.1-cil monodevelop

start monodevelop new gtk c# project (copy paste the code from above to match your app main class and namespace my are: coolbrowser,monobrowser)

But i didn't found in the list of installed assemblies
so i use my rusty admin skills and install from git and from webkit-sharp source

git clone https://github.com/mono/webkit-sharp.git

it didn't found the webkit dev libs and the mcs so

sudo apt-get install libwebkit-cil-dev libwebkit-dev
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gmcs /usr/bin/mcs

./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr
sudo make install

add webkit references to the project

here is the code

	using System;
	using Gtk;
	using WebKit;
	namespace monobrowser {
	class coolbrowser {
	public static void Main () {
	Application.Init ();
	Window window = new Window ("a browser in 13 lines...");
	window.SetDefaultSize(800,600);
	window.Destroyed += delegate (object sender, EventArgs e) {
	Application.Quit ();
	};
	ScrolledWindow scrollWindow = new ScrolledWindow ();
	WebView webView = new WebView ();
	webView.Open ("http://mono-project.com");
	scrollWindow.Add (webView);
	window.Add (scrollWindow);
	window.ShowAll ();
	Application.Run ();
	}
	}
	}
