Hm. This sounds like maybe you are building webkit and gtk with different settings of the gtk3 flag. Can you check that both are built with -f-gtk3 or both are built with -fgtk3? (Perhaps you are using an installation of gtk that you already had, and which doesn't do GTK3, but you're using webkit from darcs, which does.) > I didn't find any documentation about how the build chain works, so I > resorted to a plain reading of Setup*.hs files. > I first attempted to edit Types.chs directly, until I realized it is > generated by gtk2hsTypeGen before each build -- would have appreciated > some hint about that not to waste time. Well, to be fair, the very top of Types.chs *does* give you such a hint. -- -------------------- automatically generated file - do not edit ---------- =) > I had to print some internal states from SetupMain.hs to display the > arguments fed to gtk2hsTypeGen -- side suggestion: what about adding > some logs in Gtk2Hs module so that newbies can understand what's going > on ? Yep, the gtk2hs build chain is super complicated. You can get some details by passing -v3 to cabal when you invoke it. > Was that GtkObject removal intended ? If yes, how else could we fix > webkit's build ? Again, it builds here -- so perhaps you should check above. If you're still having trouble, let's see if we can get it fixed. ~d ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Precog is a next-generation analytics platform capable of advanced analytics on semi-structured data.
