I tried to save compilation time by disabling as many optional things as possible. One of them being XSLT as per ./configure --help. As XSLT is optional, I didn't install it. But then WebKit doesn't build: CXX DerivedSources/WebCore/libWebCore_la-JSHTMLAllCollection.lo CXX DerivedSources/WebCore/libWebCore_la-JSHTMLAnchorElement.lo In file included from ./Source/WebCore/xml/XSLTProcessor.h:29:0, from DerivedSources/WebCore/JSXSLTProcessor.h:27, from DerivedSources/WebCore/JSDOMWindow.cpp:590: ./Source/WebCore/xml/XSLStyleSheet.h:33:31: fatal error: libxslt/transform.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated. make[1]: *** [DerivedSources/WebCore/libWebCore_la-JSDOMWindow.lo] Error 1 make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

while running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake. It was created by WebKitGTK configure 2.1.0, which was generated by GNU Autoconf 2.68. Invocation command line was $ ./configure --disable-xslt One solution is to fix the build system to not depend on XSLT stuff, i.e. it may be possible to not include the objects mentioned in libWebCore. But I know next to nothing about it so it is way easier for me to depend on XSLT. Also, nothing ever uses ENABLE_XSLT. So I wrote the patch attached.
Created attachment 193156 [details] Patch making XSLT mandatory
Comment on attachment 193156 [details] Patch making XSLT mandatory Okay. This seems reasonable.
Comment on attachment 193156 [details] Patch making XSLT mandatory I actually just realized that this does not take care of the automake flag in SetupAutomake.m4.
(In reply to comment #3) > I actually just realized that this does not take care of the automake flag in SetupAutomake.m4. Like which? $ grep -ir xslt Source/autotools/ Source/autotools/Versions.m4:m4_define([libxslt_required_version], [1.1.7]) Source/autotools/FindDependencies.m4:PKG_CHECK_MODULES([LIBXSLT],[libxslt >= libxslt_required_version]) Source/autotools/FindDependencies.m4:AC_SUBST([LIBXSLT_CFLAGS]) Source/autotools/FindDependencies.m4:AC_SUBST([LIBXSLT_LIBS]) $ The only relevant reference I can see is in Source/WTF/wtf/FeatureDefines.h but I suppose that was forgotten with the cleanup by bug 111830 , but it seems to be gracefully handled.
