Hi Mark,

This problem just won't go away :-(

RE:

Checking Dependencies...
** BUILD FAILED **

The following build commands failed:
JavaScriptGlue:
CopyStringsFile /Users/samueljd/WebKit/WebKitBuild/Release/ JavaScriptGlue.framework/Versions/A/Resources/English.lproj/ InfoPlist.strings English.lproj/InfoPlist.strings
(1 failure)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



When I first installed the SVN client and checked out the WebKit trunk I was able to build without any problems. The problems occurred some weeks later when my internet connection went down while I was checking out an updated WebKit trunk. I have since deleted the old version of WebKit trunk from my machine and checked out a spanking new one but I'm still not able to build the target on my machine. Believe you me this is really frustrating mainly because I can't see why I can't build targets anymore even with a brand new trunk. Do I need to update my SVN client?

While building WebKit with command-line in the Terminal, the output shows lots of compiler commands but there is nothing in it that I can identify as a compiler error. So I tried a creative approach to solving the problem by attempting to build JavaScriptCore.xcodeproj in XCode. The JavaScriptCore target built successfully without any errors. However, when I tried to build JavaScriptGlue.xcodeproj within XCode I had numerous errors (53) as apposed to a single Error when using the command-line. Perhaps this suggest that there is some inter-dependancies between the sub-projects (i.e. JavaScriptCore, JavaScriptGlue, WebCore and WebKit) when building WebKit, hence the reason for the build pearl script.

Here is where the command that fails is first displayed the Terminal:

CopyStringsFile /Users/samueljd/WebKit/WebKitBuild/Release/ JavaScriptGlue.framework/Versions/A/Resources/English.lproj/ InfoPlist.strings English.lproj/InfoPlist.strings mkdir /Users/samueljd/WebKit/WebKitBuild/Release/ JavaScriptGlue.framework/Versions/A/Resources/English.lproj
    cd /Users/samueljd/WebKit/JavaScriptGlue
/Developer/Library/Xcode/Plug-ins/CoreBuildTasks.xcplugin/ Contents/Resources/copystrings --validate --inputencoding UTF-16 -- outputencoding UTF-16 English.lproj/InfoPlist.strings --outdir /Users/ samueljd/WebKit/WebKitBuild/Release/JavaScriptGlue.framework/Versions/ A/Resources/English.lproj
Usage: iconv [-c] [-s] [-f fromcode] [-t tocode] [file ...]
or:    iconv -l

After this output, there are a lot of compiler commands starting with CompileC but I can't see anything that looks like an error code or output. Strange problem indeed!

Do you know of any creative ways in which I could start building WebKit again on my local machine? Any suggestions would be much appreciated :-)

Best regards,

Sam
