Bug 50888 – build-webkit --minimal --enable-video doesn't enable video

• Component: WebKitGTK
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

Because configure is called with these options in order: --enable-video --disable-video (because of --minimal)

Not really GTK specific.

It doesn't work, because there isn't --enable-video option in build-webkit script.
You can use --video to enable and --no-video to disable video support.

This code sets the default value or 0 if you passed --minimal option :
...
# Initialize values from defaults
foreach (@features) {
    ${$_->{value}} = ($_->{default} && !$minimal) || 0;
}
...

But the script processes the command line arguments later:
...
# Build usage text and options list from features
foreach (@features) {
    my $opt = sprintf("%-35s", "  --[no-]$_->{option}");
    $usage .= "$opt $_->{desc} (default: $_->{default})\n";
    $options{"$_->{option}!"} = $_->{value};
}
...

So "build-webkit --minimal --video" will work for you and it isn't a bug.
