Bug 41253 – [GTK] Add support for GTK+3

• Component: WebKitGTK
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Xan Lopez]

We need to add support for the upcoming GTK+ 3.x series. Here's an overwiew of the changes the patch brings:

- A new --with-gtk parameter, with options '2.0' or '3.0'. The default for now is '2.0', to keep the same behavior than we have now.
- The library version in the GTK+ 3.x mode is bumped to 3, to be in sync with GTK+. For the 2.x mode we keep it in 1 for compatibility reasons.
- The library is renamed to libwebkitgtk in both 2.x and 3.x support options. This is an ABI break, so the library version numbers are all reset to 0:0:0. The reason for the name change is that there's potentially many webkit versions in one given system, so being named just "webkit" is pretentious.
- The .pc file is renamed to webkitgtk, with webkitgtk-3.0.pc being the file for the 3.x version. For the 2.x version we keep webkit-1.0.pc, again for compatibility reasons.

 439 JSCORE_GIRSOURCES += JSCore-@WEBKITGTK_API_VERSION@.gir

We should split libjscore later this cycle, too, btw. That would make distributions happy.

 440 WEBKIT_GIRSOURCES += WebKit-@WEBKITGTK_API_VERSION@.gir

I think we should also rename the gir/typelib files to WebKitGtk, for consistency.

8         Adapt build system to 3.x support.

s/to/for/? =)

All looks good to me otherwise.

Xan, I get a FTBFS with gtk3 on master:

  CXX    DerivedSources/webkit/WebKitDOMCSSRule.lo
In file included from ./WebCore/platform/graphics/FloatQuad.h:35,
                 from ./WebCore/dom/Range.h:29,

                 from DerivedSources/webkit/WebKitDOMCSSRule.cpp:38:

The problem is the typedef for GdkRectangle, iirc a small neat trick to avoid headers:

WebCore/platform/graphics/IntRect.h:
#if PLATFORM(WIN)
typedef struct tagRECT RECT;
#elif PLATFORM(QT)
QT_BEGIN_NAMESPACE
class QRect;
QT_END_NAMESPACE
#elif PLATFORM(GTK)
typedef struct _GdkRectangle GdkRectangle;

I fooled around trying to fix it but I failed epically. Changing the typedef to cairo_rectangle_int_t GdkRectangle doesn't help.

Although my webkit is still building, I think this solves the problem I just ranted about.

You need #ifdefs and keep the old version around for GTK+ 2.x...

Also, do you really need to do it in two steps?
