Bug 127073 – [GTK][CMake] build-webkit should try harder to avoid re-running cmake

• Component: WebKitGTK
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Martin Robinson]

When using build-webkit for incremental builds, having to rerun cmake constantly really breaks up flow. This will especially true once Ninja is working.

This code isn't necessary as the Nix port is no longer applicable.

Maybe a better name for this function would be isCachedArgumentFileOutOfDate since this function returns a boolean result.

Nit: ' (single quote) => " (double quote)

Ditto.

> Tools/Scripts/webkitdirs.pm:1917
> +    my $globalConfiguration = File::Spec->catdir(sourceDir(), 'Source', 'cmake', 'OptionsCommon.cmake');

Ditto.

Remove isNix() as it's no longer applicable.

How could this ever work? This function expects 2 arguments, not one? See patch in https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=209277
