Browser cog - Problems on Mobian - arno_nuehm - 12-09-2021

Hello there,

the browser cog is a lightweight single window browser using WPE libraries. The problem is, that I cannot get the latest versions to run on Mobian - v0.8.1 is the last one functioning.

Has anyone here any ideas what could be the problem?

I tried the --platform= options, which result in errors that the libraries could not be found.

Thanks in advance!

Are you still on Bullseye (Debian Stable)?

A quick search of Debian packages shows that's the latest supported version in that release.

Thanks for your answer.

I'm on Bookworm and all the versions following 0.8.1 are not working.

I had the same issue and was dying without cog.  Building latest from source got it going again.
  1. uninstall existing cog version (sudo apt remove cog)
  2. checkout latest version from https://github.com/Igalia/cog (git clone "https://github.com/Igalia/cog.git")
  3. install dependencies (sudo apt install cmake build-essential pkg-config libcairomm-1.0-dev libwayland-client++0 libinput-dev libgbm-dev libdrm-dev libepoxy-dev libwayland-dev libwpewebkit-1.0-dev  libsoup2.4-dev  libgio3.0-cil-dev  libgio2.0-cil-dev  libwpebackend-fdo-1.0-dev )
  4. build and install:
  5. cd cog
  6. cmake .
  7. make
  8. make install
Did the trick for me, hope it helps!

Cog from Debian works again now Smile

I'm actually not using it anymore because I found Epiphany (GNOME Web) to be fast enough for most things and it has a nice way to create web apps from visiting a site.
