Bug 126247 – WebKitGtk 2 build fails from git

• Component: WebKitGTK
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Giovanni Campagna]

Since the recent enablement of the NetworkProcess in the standard WebKitGtk build, the build fails because libwebkitgtk2 does not expose NetworkProcessMain (so linking WebKitNetworkProcess fails). This only happens if the symbol filter is enabled, ie if not --enable-developer-mode.

The simple fix is:

diff --git a/Source/autotools/symbols.filter b/Source/autotools/symbols.filter
index a01a00c..81a9725 100644
--- a/Source/autotools/symbols.filter
+++ b/Source/autotools/symbols.filter

   _ZN6WebKit22WebGtkExtensionManager10initializeEPK14OpaqueWKBundlePKv;
   _ZN6WebKit22WebGtkExtensionManager6sharedEv;
 local:

I can prepare a proper patch with the usual conventions, but it looks trivial enough that someone of you can apply it (I don't have commit access anyway).

Thanks!

Please go ahead. Sooner is better :)
