Bug 63919 – WebKitGtk+ fails to build on win32 against GTK3

• Component: WebKitGTK
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Greg Hellings]

I am attempting to build webkit-1.4.2 against GTK3 cross-compiling from Fedora Core 15 with the mingw32 toolchain.  After fixing a bug with the gtk3 missing gdk/win32 headers, I am attempting to compile webkitgtk against gtk3.  Compile fails with the following message:

  CXX    Source/WebCore/plugins/gtk/libwebkitgtk_3_0_la-PluginViewGtk.lo
Source/WebCore/plugins/gtk/PluginViewGtk.cpp: In member function 'bool WebCore::PluginView::platformStart()':
Source/WebCore/plugins/gtk/PluginViewGtk.cpp:834:42: error: 'gtk_socket_new' was not declared in this scope

GtkSocket is not available with the gdk/win32 backend, only with X11.

Don't use gtk_socket_new

Don't use gtk_socket_new if using GDK_WINDOWING_WIN32 and GTK3, since GtkSocket is X11 only in Gtk3

Not sure it will work, but it compiles.

This should be #if PLATFORM(WINDOWS) instead of GDK_WINDOWING_WIN32, I think.

1.4.2 is very old, but this patch seems to be still necessary. It needs to be fixed to build on master, and have a ChangeLog entry like kalev mentioned.
