• Component: WebKitGTK
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[ChangSeok Oh]

A build failure happens when building with clang.

So I propose to apply a proper patch to fontconfig or else to bump fontconfig to at lease 2.9.91

Is there any way we can instead compile fontconfig with -Wno-reserved-user-defined-literal

[Zan Dobersek]

Using module_autogenargs in Tools/gtk/jhbuildrc should work:

module_autogenargs['fontconfig'] = 'CFLAGS=...' + autogenargs

[Martin Robinson]

Maybe we can wait for the alternate approach on this one so that we don't have to have another patch in the repo?

Yeah. we can avoid the failure by adding the flag, -Wno-reserved-user-defined-literal to CXXFALGS.

Zan thanks for the tip. But the build failure happens when building webkit not fontconfig itself. Sorry for my poor description about this bug. :P

Oh, in that case a patch is probably the best, because we don't want to let C++11 slip into WebKit code. Sorry for the confusion. Do you mind if I r+ your patch again?

No problem. Let me re-upload the first patch near soon. :)
