Bug 174669 – [WPE] WPE doesn't work on Fedora (Fedora 26)

• Component: WPE WebKit
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Carlos Alberto Lopez Perez]

It seems some users (at least Jacobo and Michael) are having trouble using the WPE minibrowser (dyz) on Fedora.

The error is:

PlatformDisplayWPE: could not create the EGL display.


Some quick instructions about how to test WPE are at: https://trac.webkit.org/wiki/WPE


This is using Mesa graphics.

Well there are two errors. That is the first one. The next one is:

/home/mcatanzaro/Projects/WebKit/WebKitBuild/Release/bin/WPENetworkProcess: symbol lookup error: /home/mcatanzaro/Projects/WebKit/WebKitBuild/Release/lib/libWPEWebKit.so.0: undefined symbol: soup_auth_negotiate_supported

[Michael Catanzaro]

Note: all dependencies of WebKit that themselves depend on libsoup need to be added to the JHBuild environment. Probably one is missing.

I think this is a duplicate, and the other bug has comments with some debugging, so let's move discussion there even though this one is a lot older.

I'm not seeing that myself, using our JHBuild environment. Perhaps we fixed that in the past several months.
