Yes, "ubuntu 12.04 LTS". > Did you run the Tools/gtk/install-dependencies script? It will install > all the additional packages required to build the GTK port of WebKit. Yes, right after I sent my first email I discovered this helpful advice from Osztrogonác Csaba (who I see has also replied to my email): https://lists.webkit.org/pipermail/webkit-help/2013-December/003662.html I did these steps: ###[ $ sudo Tools/gtk/install-dependencies # ... ^^ that went fine ... $ Tools/Scripts/update-webkitgtk-libs # ... ^^ that ran fine for a while and then BOOM: ... *** module webkitgtk-testing-dependencies not built due to non buildable gst-libav *** [28/28] *** module webkitgtk-testing-dependencies not built due to non buildable xserver *** [28/28] *** the following modules were not built *** [28/28] cairo gdk-pixbuf atk at-spi2-core at-spi2-atk gtk+ glib-networking gnome-icon-theme gnome-icon-theme-symbolic librsvg gnome-themes-standard libsoup gstreamer gst-plugins-base gst-plugins-good gst-plugins-bad gst-libav xserver webkitgtk-testing-dependencies Running jhbuild-wrapper build failed. Died at Tools/Scripts/update-webkitgtk-libs line 24. ###] Ugly business there. > Also, you'll probably require a compiler of more recent version. For > 12.04, I'd recommend getting GCC 4.8 from this PPA: > https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-toolchain-r/+archive/test Funny yes, last night the webkit build was complaining about my gcc 4.6, and last night I installed gcc 4.7. It still complained, and I realized I had to install g++ 4.7 as well. So now I have: ###[ patrick@laptop:~$ gcc --version gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.7.3-2ubuntu1~12.04) 4.7.3 patrick@laptop:~$ g++ --version g++ (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.7.3-2ubuntu1~12.04) 4.7.3 ###] However, it sounds like I might need to go even more bleeding edge there and grab 4.8 as you say. We'll see. Meantime I'm gonna reply to Csaba's email separately. > Cheers, > Zan Thanks! -- Patrick _______________________________________________ webkit-help mailing list webkit-help@lists.webkit.org https://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo/webkit-help
