Hi, after i downloaded the current stable version of webkitgtk 1.10.1 i applied the necessary patches to make-3.82. Thereafter i started the build procedure with ./configure --prefix=/opt/glib/ --enable-geolocation=no after that, the patched make, passed successfully through all steps (without any command line argument). Unfortunately make install fails afterwards with: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ... ... /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ./Documentation/webkit2gtk/html/WebKitWindowProperties.html GEN install-data-local Rebasing WebKit1 documentation... Traceback (most recent call last): File "./Tools/gtk/generate-gtkdoc", line 173, in <module> rebase_installed_docs(pkg_config_path, options) File "./Tools/gtk/generate-gtkdoc", line 149, in rebase_installed_docs generator = gtkdoc.PkgConfigGTKDoc(pkg_config_path, options) File "/home/johannes/Src/webkitgtk-1.10.1/Tools/gtk/gtkdoc.py", line 398, in __init__ '--cflags'], print_output=False) File "/home/johannes/Src/webkitgtk-1.10.1/Tools/gtk/gtkdoc.py", line 198, in _run_command % (args[0], process.returncode)) Exception: pkg-config produced a non-zero return code 1 make[2]: *** [install-data-local] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/johannes/Src/webkitgtk-1.10.1' make[1]: *** [install-am] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/johannes/Src/webkitgtk-1.10.1' make: *** [install] Error 2 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I encountered the same problem with webkit-gtk-1.8.3 on Gentoo. Further debugging reveals what I met is actually a bug in pkgconf-0.9.1. When building documentation webkit-gtk executes a command like `pkg-config /build/root/webkit-1.8.3/Source/WebKit/gtk/webkit-1.0.pc --cflags`. webkit-1.0.pc depends on glib-2.0 and a few other pkgconfig modules, but pkgconf has a bug in its implementation that once it find a file based on full path the user specified, it will stop adding default search paths (/usr/lib/pkgconfig, etc.) to its search path list, resulting in a failure to find the dependencies of webkit-1.0.pc. This issue is only recently fixed by pkgconf developers < https://github.com/pkgconf/pkgconf/commit/83877eb2f7dde3a9120e7f512058f23aa9c34690 >. Hopefully it could be helpful for you.
