[GTK] Header path should be webkit/webkit.h

• Component: WebKitGTK
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

Right now, GTK+ API headers get installed into the top level include directory, eg. /usr/include/WebKitGtk/*.h

This means that developers do this in applications:

#include <webkit.h>

Our own webkit.h looks like this:

#ifndef __WEBKIT_H__
#define __WEBKIT_H__

#include <webkitdefines.h>
#include <webkitnetworkrequest.h>
#include <webkitwebframe.h>
#include <webkitwebsettings.h>
#include <webkitwebview.h>

#endif /* __WEBKIT_H__ */


I propose that we rename WebKit/gtk/WebView to WebKit/gtk/webkit to allow:

#include <webkit/webkit.h>

This matches GTK+ module conventions.

The alternative is to use ForwardingHeaders, which would help avoid the renaming in SVN, but the benefits of this aren't too clear for non-Apple APIs, and it would add maintenance overhead.

All in favour of renaming this directory and updating the necessary build systems and headers?
