Bug 20338 – [Gtk] Autotools should check for libxslt

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: INVALID
• Component: WebKitGTK

[Jan Alonzo]

We're not checking for libxslt and hence, missing -lxslt in the build.

Hi,

The patch was missing a $ and broke the build:

+                  libxslt >= LIBXSLT_REQUIRED_VERSION

Moreover, we do check for libxslt, but only if XSL support is enabled in configure:

# check if libxslt is available
if test "$enable_xslt" = "yes"; then
   PKG_CHECK_MODULES([LIBXSLT],[libxslt >= $LIBXSLT_REQUIRED_VERSION])
   AC_SUBST([LIBXSLT_CFLAGS])
   AC_SUBST([LIBXSLT_LIBS])
fi

Jan, was the existing XSLT check broken for you?

Backed out in r35655 to get things building. Jan, can you describe the configure issue so we can try again if there's still an issue?

Hi Alp

Thanks for the rollback. This issue doesn't seem to be a WebKit/Gtk issue, but rather a packaged webkitgtk issue. Closing as INVALID as we don't really have to do anything here.

FYI, I think you need to update the changelog which revision was actually rolled back. Here's your commit message:


    GTK+ build fixes.

    Back out r20338 libxslt check (conditional check already exists and
    this broke the build).

    Make the flex version check a warning rather than fatal to fix the
    build bot. 

Cheers
