Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/kusti8/proton-native/issues/36

I've referenced #16 regarding the GTK requirement and have it installed. However, the error I'm getting is still persisting.

In this I'm using create-proton-app although it occurs even when using just npm install

Creating a new Proton Native app on /home/tristan/ProtonDemo

Installing packages... Make take a few minutes.

@TristanWiley check you have: build-essential (12.4ubuntu1) and libgtk-3-dev (3.22.25-0ubuntu0.1) installed while I install elementary to try to reproduce the bug.

this was a fresh install of the lastest version of elementaryOS. Just installed libgtk-3-dev and node v8 and no problem so far.

@TristanWiley did you were able to get it working? try with create-proton-app cli, otherwise I think this issue should be closed if the problem isn't related to Proton Native.

I haven't gotten it working yet. I've tried with the CPA cli and it was the same issue. I'll figure it out eventually and report back.

Some setup issue I presume.

Looks like it was missing from my PATH.

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig:/usr/share/pkgconfig

Fixed it 👍
