Bug 15828 – WebKit GTK include and lib directory is in qt4-named directory

• Component: WebKitGTK
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[KIMURA Masaru]

I found webkit ebuild for gentoo at the bugziulla[1].
Tweaking it and pushed into my personal overlay[2].
And I checked installed files' location by equery.
It said,

/usr
/usr/bin
/usr/bin/GtkLauncher
/usr/include
/usr/include/qt4
/usr/include/qt4/WebKitGtk
/usr/include/qt4/WebKitGtk/webkitgtkdefines.h
/usr/include/qt4/WebKitGtk/webkitgtkframe.h
/usr/include/qt4/WebKitGtk/webkitgtkglobal.h
/usr/include/qt4/WebKitGtk/webkitgtknetworkrequest.h
/usr/include/qt4/WebKitGtk/webkitgtkpage.h
/usr/include/qt4/WebKitGtk/webkitgtksettings.h
/usr/lib64
/usr/lib64/qt4
/usr/lib64/qt4/libWebKitGtk.prl
/usr/lib64/qt4/libWebKitGtk.so
/usr/lib64/qt4/libWebKitGtk.so.1
/usr/lib64/qt4/libWebKitGtk.so.1.0
/usr/lib64/qt4/libWebKitGtk.so.1.0.0
/usr/lib64/qt4/pkgconfig
/usr/lib64/qt4/pkgconfig/WebKitGtk.pc 

So, why gtk port is in qt-named directoy? :)

PS: And GtkLauncher is not installed by doing simply
make INSTALL_ROOT=balbla install, I realized too.

Use sane default install paths for the gtk port

This patch defaults to /usr/local and /usr/local/include/WebKitGtk respectively. I don't think we want to install GtkLauncher.

[KIMURA Masaru]

At #webkit, bdash tells why gtk port was installed into that weird
location. He said http://live.gnome.org/WebKitGtk mentioned to use
--qmakearg.

I've updated my ebuild[1] (was linked my previous post) to make it
install into correct location /usr/include/WebKit and /usr/lib64
already. Because Gentoo won't install to /usr/local via portage.
But to merge this fix to upstream would be better, I think.

Note, to reproduce this weird install result is only do w/o
--qmakearg which is mentioned at http://live.gnome.org/WebKitGtk.

The patch should get a positive review. Yes we should not install the GtkLauncher as it is using rpath for linking because we/I currently don't want it to be installed.
