Bug 31014 – [Gtk] Build fails with gtk+-2.10 (no tested with older releases)

• Component: WebKitGTK
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Cyprien Nicolas]

Hello guys,

I tried to build WebKit-Gtk, both 1.1.15.3 and 1.1.6, downloaded today from the webkitgtk.org website, and the build fails.


Here is my configure command, which exits normally:
./configure --prefix=${HOME}/local/`hostname` --enable-web-sockets

(BTW, ./configure --help says: "--enable-web-sockets    enable support for Web Sockets default=yes", but it seems to default to no, that should be another bug report)


Here is the error:

  CXX    WebKit/gtk/WebCoreSupport/libwebkit_1_0_la-ChromeClientGtk.lo
WebKit/gtk/WebCoreSupport/ChromeClientGtk.cpp: In member function ‘virtual void WebKit::ChromeClient::mouseDidMoveOverElement(const WebCore::HitTestResult&, unsigned int)’:
WebKit/gtk/WebCoreSupport/ChromeClientGtk.cpp:453: error: ‘gtk_tooltip_trigger_tooltip_query’ was not declared in this scope
make[1]: *** [WebKit/gtk/WebCoreSupport/libwebkit_1_0_la-ChromeClientGtk.lo] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/auto/sop-nas2a/u/sop-nas2a/vol/home_indes/cnicolas/NOSAVE/webkit/WebKitGTK/webkit-1.1.16'
make: *** [all] Error 2


pkg-config tells me I have gtk+ 2.10
$ pkg-config --modversion gtk+-2.0
2.10.14

I checked for the GTK+ API, and `gtk_tooltip_trigger_tooltip_query' comes with the new GtkTooltip API, which is available since Gtk+-2.12, source: http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/unstable/GtkTooltip.html


So I think the autoconf/configure should be updated to fail if the gtk+ lib is too old for webkit-gtk...

The requirement of 2.10 is actually correct. The call to the new function should be guarded by #ifdefs instead.

s/no/not/ ?

and I have no idea what the style check script is aiming at...
