Upgrade SDK deps so modern Linux distros work.

FWIW, I managed to find all the dependencies needed to get things running on Manjaro Linux (presumably would work for Arch and other Arch-derivatives too). I had to install the gtk2 and libpng12 packages, available from the main Arch repos, as well as the webkitgtk2 package from the Arch User Repository (AUR). That last one is what provided the elusive libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0 library. Be warned though, webkitgtk2 took about 2.5 hours to build on my laptop (Core i7, about 4/5 years old).

Of course, this doesn't change the main issue raised by this thread - the SDK manager needs to be updated so that it doesn't depend on this old and hard-to-find library!

Just want to point out that on Arch Linux, the following package seems to provide the libraries needed: aur.archlinux.org/.../

Facing the same issue. Workaround: run the SDK within Docker or the likes:

- https://github.com/kalemena/docker-connectiq (an elaborate project)

- https://github.com/cedric-dufour/connectiq-sdk-docker (as simple as it gets)

$ ldd bin/sdkmanager | grep not
libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0 => not found
libjavascriptcoregtk-1.0.so.0 => not found
libjpeg.so.8 => not found

libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=866632 / tracker.debian.org/.../webkitgtk

libjpeg8: https://packages.qa.debian.org/libj/libjpeg8.html

libjavascriptcoregtk is only available in oldoldstable (stretch): https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=libjavascriptcoregtk-1.0-0

In other words, ConnectIQ is totally unusable for Linux.

Is there an update on this? I was about to get back to CIQ after a couple of years, this is disappointing.
