Bug 109960 – [GTK] Spread the gyp build files throughout the tree

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Martin Robinson]

This will make it a lot easier to share pieces of the gyp build with Chromium (and potentially other ports).

looks basically fine. As I've mentioned before, I'm not a big fan of the widespread use of relative paths in gyp, and so if I was doing this I'd keep $(Source) around in some form and then derive all of the other variables relative to that.

But I can't say for sure that that's definitely a better way to do things; others might disagree.

> +make --no-builtin-rules -f "$JavaScriptCore/DerivedSources.make" JavaScriptCore=$JavaScriptCore

hopefully at some point we can get away from needing to call make ...

I guess you mean in the dependency lines like ../../WTF/WTF.gyp/WTFGTK.gyp:wtf? I can add a Source variable and make those relative to that when landing this.
