Webkit-gtk 1.2.7 error ‘struct’ tag used in naming ‘union _GMutex’

[jovo@…]

Webkit-gtk does not install due to a compilation error in GOwnPtr.h (?)

This on Macbook Pro with OS X 1.0.6.8 and Macports 2.0.4

This looks similar to Bugzilla defect ​https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72085 but I have no idea how to fix this in MP.

Please clean and attach the main.log.

I am having the same issue (I think). What exactly do you mean by "cleaning" main.log?

Never mind, I just realized you meant clean the build files first. Silly me.

The error log file generated when trying to build webkit-gtk

[elelay@…]

see upstream bug: ​https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72085

[vloodo@…]

I can confirm that changing line 34 of GOwnPtr.h this way:

-typedef struct _GMutex GMutex;
+typedef union  _GMutex GMutex;

allows me to compile.

[elelay@…]

include glib.h directly

[elelay@…]

or, to be compatible with older versions of glib2, #include <glib.h> and remove the custom definitions (see attached patch).
