I'm trying to build webkit-1.11.5 and I'm getting the following build failure:

I have found the problem. --enable-dependency-tracking should be passed to the configure.

Should this bug be closed as "RESOLVED INVALID", or should that configure option be somehow hardcoded so although the user tries to disable it, the configure script ignores it because it's mandatory?

[Philippe Normand]

Any chance you can try a more recent release? 1.11 is getting old. Also we switched from autotools to cmake.

So yeah if you don't mind I'll close this bug :)
