Bug 140176 – [GTK] Cannot compile 2.7.3 on i686

• Component: WebKitGTK
• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

[Tomas Popela]

The compilation of the 2.7.3 fails on i686. It fails while generating the documentation (if turned on) or the instrospection files (if documentation is turned off). It looks like there is something wrong with the libwebkit2gtk shared library:

The most interesting lines from the logs below are:
./webkitdomgtk-scan: error while loading shared libraries: libwebkit2gtk-4.0.so.37: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

/builddir/build/BUILD/webkitgtk-2.7.3/i686-redhat-linux-gnu/Source/WebKit2/tmp-introspectwRec8z/WebKit2-4.0: error while loading shared libraries: libwebkit2gtk-4.0.so.37: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[root@seppuku-t430s webkitdomgtk]# ldd ../../lib/libwebkit2gtk-4.0.so.37.4.0
lddlibc4: cannot open `../../lib/libwebkit2gtk-4.0.so.37.4.0': Value too large for defined data type

Error when the documenation is enabled:

After I strip the library the ldd shows the expected output.

[Zan Dobersek]

It seems something is being packed into a not-large-enough storage.

I guess ldd error message cannot get more descriptive.

Did 2.7.2 compile fine?

> Did 2.7.2 compile fine?

Yes, it compiled fine.

[Zan Dobersek]

To correct myself, the shared library is now probably large enough to cause problems for utilities that don't support large files.

[Carlos Alberto Lopez Perez]

Did you tried building with the gold linker instead of GNU ld?

> Did you tried building with the gold linker instead of GNU ld?

We are already doing that. Also building it temporary with -g1 instead of -g fixes the issue, but that's not the solution.

[Michael Catanzaro]

I think we actually add -g1 upstream now, so I guess this can be closed? There's not really anything we can do about system utilities lacking large file support.
