Do you still get this after a clean build?

> Do you still get this after a clean build?
What do you mean after "clean build" Week later, I again did:

svn update

./autogen.sh --enable-web-sockets --enable-geolocation --enable-3D-transforms --enable-filters --enable-mathml --enable-image-resizer

make

And after compiling almost whole day, it finished again with message:
......

A clean build is one run after something like 'make distclean.' Typically we use build-webkit to build WebKitGTK+ though. This will ensure a totally clean build. Please see our wiki for how to do that: http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/BuildingGtk

That was fixed, I am able already 2 weeks to compile Webkit for Linux GTK
