Bug 101506 – [EFL] Remove non-variable options from the build system

• Component: WebKit EFL
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Laszlo Gombos]

Some cmake variables - that are only used in the EFL specific part of the build system - are constants. As an example the WTF_USE_ICU_UNICODE cmake variable is only used in the EFL build system and for EFL it is always set to 1. The EFL port does not allow WTF_USE_ICU_UNICODE to be anything other than 1 (otherwise the port would probably not even build).

I find it confusing to have variables for things that can not be changed. I think it make the build system code more readable if we remove these variables.

This patch is first step to allow us to share list of files to build with other ports/build system and it will also allow EFL to use files like TextAllInOne.cpp.

The cleanup looks fine, but since you have removed the IF checks from WebCore/PlatformEfl.cmake you should merge the changes to WebCore_SOURCES & co. to the original call at the top of the file.

I agree. I will do that in a follow-up patch (also sort them and maybe start using some of the AllInOne files where it make sense). Thanks for helping with the review.
