[GTK] Fails to build on GNU/Hurd because of PATH_MAX usage

• Component: WebKitGTK
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Emilio Pozuelo Monfort]

Hi,

WebKit built fine on GNU/Hurd until 1.1.17. However some release after that has introduced PATH_MAX in a couple of tests. PATH_MAX is not guaranteed to be defined and thus shouldn't be used unconditionally for portability reasons.

I've prepared a patch to avoid using PATH_MAX to let WebKit build on GNU/Hurd again. It uses dynamic allocation instead of fixed size buffers.

The patch is against 1.1.20 and builds fine, so since the patch is for the test suite, the tests should be fine :)

Patch looks sane, can you add a ChangeLog entry to WebKit/gtk/ChangeLog, and repost, please? =)

Now with a ChangeLog entry. Patch against current git.

I haven't built the tests in git, should I? If so, what's the best way to do it?

Setting the review flag, since Emilio forgot it.
