Bug 38451 – [GTK] Linker errors in Linux GTK builds.

• Component: WebCore Misc.
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Nayan]

Linux GTK builds are giving following linker error in latest WebKit builds,

  CXXLD  libwebkit-1.0.la
  CC     WebKitTools/GtkLauncher/Programs_GtkLauncher-main.o
  CCLD   Programs/GtkLauncher
./.libs/libwebkit-1.0.so: undefined reference to `WebCore::Geolocation::clearWatch(int)'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [Programs/GtkLauncher] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/nayankk/webkit/webkit'
make: *** [all] Error 2


Version of WebKit I am using is,

I am not sure whether these linker errors are seen in other ports as well.

Is there anything special with your platform? The default seems to work here.

I am using Ubuntu 9.10. Build is just the GTK port of WebKit without any modifications. Initially, I thought these linker errors could be because of my environment issues, but, same error was seen with one of my friend's build as well. Anyways, this doesn't seems to be the right fix, as its causing build failure in Chromium.

I do not see a reason this simple method would need a hand written binding. Could you attempt to make a clean build?

I think that this is duplicated with Bug 38091
It was fixed

I'm confused.

This just needs the last patch in bug 33590 to be committed, AFAICT.

[Nayan]

This error is not seen in latest builds. Issue is the dup of #38091
