Debian 10 installation failure

tintin77 — Tue, 09 Jul 2019 11:43:13 GMT

Debian 10 has been released over the weekend. During installation several missing dependencies are reported. All except one I could resolve. The remaining one is libwebkitgtk-1.0-0. This is no longer available through APT. Is there a workaround/solution?

Verifying archive integrity... All good.

Hi tintin77@gmail.com‌,

Could you try using the next command before installing the MCUXpresso?

apt-get install -y libwebkitgtk-3.0-0

Let me know if this helps you.

Best Regards,

Alexis Andalon

I get a message that I'm unauthorized to view that blog?

Alexis, Bonny seems to have a solution by manually installing the obsolete packages. Is NXP planning to remove these dependencies to obsolete packages in one of the upcoming releases? More and more distributions seem to have issues with this (Ubuntu 19.04, Debian 10)...

let me paste over

I think this might be late since I was using Ubuntu 18.04 until recently when I upgraded to latest version 19.04

Tried to install Mcuxpresso IDE I encountered some dependency errors but managed to solved it. I had already replied to question about it but decided #to write main post about it.

This is what I did (installed the dependencies)

(my laptop is 64 bit)

sudo apt install libusb-1.0-0-dev

sudo apt install dfu-util

download amd64 build of icu 60.1-1

install the package (open terminal from the file location)

sudo dpkg -i libicu60_60.1-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb

download libjavascriptcoregtk-1.0-0_2.4.11-4

and install

sudo dpkg -i libjavascriptcoregtk-1.0-0_2.4.11-4_amd64.deb

download libwebkitgtk-1.0-0_2.4.11-4

and install

sudo dpkg -i libwebkitgIDEIDEtk-1.0-0_2.4.11-4_amd64.deb

install IDE(open terminal from file location)

install.....

sudo chmod +x ./mcuxpressoide-11.0.0_2516.x86_64.deb.bin

sudo ./mcuxpressoide-11.0.0_2516.x86_64.deb.bin

After this you should home and dry :smileycool:

Everything worked well.

If you have any problem you can reply to this post.

Thank you for these steps. For future i suggest use sudo apt install instead of sudo dpkg -i.

Hi,

1.Problem: Installing mcuexpresso 11.4.1 (mandatory requirement) on Ubuntu 24.04

2.Error: package description

mcuxpressoide depends on libncurses5; however:
  Package libncurses5 is not installed.
mcuxpressoide depends on libusb-1.0-0-dev; however:
  Package libusb-1.0-0-dev is not installed.
mcuxpressoide depends on dfu-util; however:
  Package dfu-util is not installed.
mcuxpressoide depends on libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37; however:
  Package libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37 is not installed.

3. Partial solution for all packages excerpt libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37

Package libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37 is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source

Does NXp have a solution for this case ???

*Update*

This link solve this:

https://github.com/bambulab/BambuStudio/issues/3973

Just remember to restore back:

/etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu.sources

with the original one after mcuexpresso launches

Anyway NXP should provide a solution imho

Regards

Sbm

Short update!
I tested this with Debian 12 and is far more stable.Alwys us root priviledges to launch app if not the SDK don t get downloaded.
In other words:
sudo /usr/local/mcuxpressoide-11.4.1_6260/ide/mcuxpressoide
and browse to you home space and all will work flawlessly
