Bug 107926 – make-3.82 fails to build on ARM/Linux

• Component: WebKitGTK
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Keaton Mowery]

Running

$ Tools/Scripts/update-webkitgtk-libs

fails as of r140691 when compiling make-3.82 on an Debian armel install (`uname -a`: "Linux huan 3.7.4-x8 #1 SMP Tue Jan 22 19:03:12 UTC 2013 armv7l GNU/Linux")

The error:

This error appears to be caused by the webkit-provided patch "Tools/gtk/patches/make-3.82-arg-list-length.patch".

As a workaround, truncating this file allows make-3.82 to build properly. I'm not currently sure if WebKit GTK will build with the modified make, though.

I don't see where PAGE_SIZE is used in the make source code. Maybe it's in one of the headers included by that patch?

It might be related to this: http://bugs.debian.org/393023

Do you still have the problem?

This still happens on arm device like odroid U3.
