Webkit-gtk 1.1.15.4 fails to build on Snow Leopard

[daniel@…]

I'm trying to install Midori and webkit-gtk 1.1.15.4 fails to build.

I was doing universal builds due to wine-devel and I thought that might be the problem, so I completely uninstalled all of Macports and rm -rf /opt/local and then reinstalled everything again without wine-devel (no longer forcing universal on any ports)

The port is from the Australian mirror on a Macbook Unibody - Mac OS X 10.6.3

Here's the error output with the -d flag. I can't decipher it:

I just tried a fresh install of MacPorts on a PowerBook G4 running Mac OS X Server 10.5.8 and attempted to install Midori in the same manner. Webkit-gtk failed to build at:

make[1]: *** [WebKit/gtk/WebCoreSupport/libwebkit_1_0_la-ChromeClientGtk.lo] Error 1

is anyone having success building the current webkit-gtk?

I'm seeing the same error logs (line-for-line identical) as Daniel. I'm running 10.6.3 on Unibody Macbook Pro i7.

Cc Me!

[elelay@…]

please see #24622 by applying the last patch : patch-WebCore-config-h.diff, you should be able to build it...

Thanks elelay, the patch worked!

Being new to this, I followed some of the advice in the ​Macports Guide on patching and figured it out from there.

Just for anyone looking for a step by step solution, here's what I did:

sudo port clean --all webkit-gtk

sudo port selfupdate

sudo port install webkit-gtk

(These steps were not necessary, but safe to do)

The build failed at this point and then I applied the ​patch-WebCore-config-h.diff patch which I downloaded into ~/Downloads;

cd /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_www_webkit-gtk/work/webkit-1.1.15.4

patch -p0 < ~/Downloads/patch-WebCore-config-h.diff

And finally:

sudo port install webkit-gtk

sudo port install midori

Midori is working again! Thanks everybody.

webkit-gtk has been updated to 1.2.1. Is this still a problem?

[daniel@…]

webkit-gtk @1.2.1_0 built without any problems. Good work!

[elelay@…]

so I'm closing the ticket. Thanks for reporting and taking the time to explain how to apply the patch !
