Bug 57015 – [Qt] Make WebKit compile with modularized Qt with prefix

• Component: WebKit Qt
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Kristian Amlie]

This is needed for modularized Qt. It should be safe to remove QTDIR_build references, since building inside Qt will not be supported anymore.

Hey, you are now removing debug info systematically! How are we supposed to work? :)

We just merged the two ways of building WebKit (inside and outside Qt) into one, and had to choose one approach. If you want us to remove it, we can also do that. Should I update the patch and take it away?

Yes please.

I expect those who build webkit in debug to know what they do.

Removed the no_debug_info section entirely.

[Kristian Amlie]

Anything else needed from my side here, or is the patch ok?

Also created https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58120, since prepare-ChangeLog does this wrong.

FYI, I will be away for the next two weeks, so I will not respond during that time.

Down-prioritize to P3 because the modularization project is a bit unknown state to us. We can revisit those patches after QtWebKit will find its way to Qt source tree.

[Eric Seidel (no email)]

I'm happy to rs=me this, but I suspect a qt person should offer an opinion.

[Kenneth Rohde Christiansen]

Adding some of our build geniuses :-)

I'll be happy to do an informal review and test but what is the procedure to test this? What is a modularized Qt with prefix? Is that still apply to Qt4?

[Csaba Osztrogonác]

I cc-ed Andras, AFAIK he has modularized Qt to check it.

No need to repeat this line.

- This should be synchronized with the same section in WebCore.pri.
- I don't think this should be completely removed though, this was a nice compromise for people, just wanting to use WebKit as a library, that have flacky linkers regarding memory space limits.
We really need this for debug SDK builds.

Do you know if this is always true for SDK builds?
In any case we can get that to work later if it doesn't.

r- based on Jocelyn's comment.

[Csaba Osztrogonác]

Is this bug still valid?

[Tor Arne Vestbø]

Nope-
