I hadn't used '--enable-webkit' in the configure step, so I reconfigured
with that, and recompiled etc., but reports are still using GtkHTML.
The complete configure command I used was:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/gnucash-webkit --enable-webkit \
--enable-debug --enable-doxygen --enable-error-on-warning \
--enable-compile-warnings
I'm using Ubuntu Intrepid, and the webkit packages I added to make the
compilation work are libwebkit-1.0-1 and libwebkit-dev, both version
1.0.1-2ubuntu0.1. I'm using version 18011 of the webkit branch of Gnucash.
cheers
