I'm trying to do some contributions in the Gdk port.
First all, I'm trying to fix the build system for gdk. It uses
BakeFiles, but it seems that this option has been abandoned.
That's not entirely true. The svn trunk now builds with bakefiles so
build system should not be a barrier for people who just want to
contribute to gtk port. I'll try to keep the build working.
Having said that, I would welcome a better build and extending CMake
build to support gtk would be great.
Having said that, I just tried to build qt version on linux with cmake
(currently that's the only one that uses cmake) and I failed so it
seems like cmake build isn't actively maintained either (maybe it
works well on mac, that's one thing I couldn't verify).
It generally works for the QT build.
For my own needs of working on gtk port I've created a simple makefile
generation script (http://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11308,
latest version is at
http://kjk.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/webcore/gen-webkit-gdk-makefile.py)
which I think, is a better solution than both bakefile and cmake
(http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/webkit-dev/2006-October/001364.html).
I was not happy with cmake to be honest its poorly documented and it
seems to have a business model where documentation is sold to support
the work. Not exactly good for
encouraging adoption. I'm not interested in having to purchase a book
for a build tool.
I'm very interested in your script and downloaded it. Long term I did
not see sticking to Cmake as viable and I want to create a build
system based on javascript/xml based on Webkit :)
When I get the chance I plan to convert your python program to
javascript and persue this approach your work is enough to provide me
the foundation I need to do a javascript based build tool.
THANKS !
