Bug 114255 – Building Webkit 1.10.2 using buildroot hangs at "Installing to staging Directory"

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: INVALID
• Component: WebKitGTK

Hi,

I am in the procees of building webkit 1.10.2 using buildroot.
I use --disable-jit as config option.
Building goes fine till it reaches staging directory. Once it reaches "Installing to  staging Directory", it hangs.
Please find the below logs

>>> webkit 1.10.2 'Installing to staging directory'
/usr/bin/make -j9 DESTDIR=<Staging-DIR> install -C <Webkit-Build-Dir>
  GEN    generate-webkit2-forwarding-headers
  GEN    generate-webkittestrunner-forwarding-headers

  GEN    generate-testwebkitapi-forwarding-headers
  GEN    generate-webkit2-forwarding-headers
/usr/bin/make  install-am

I debugged and tried putting a slash after "$(am__objects_39) " as below in Webkit's GnuMakefile. Then the build passes succesfully.
am__objects_39 = Source/JavaScriptCore/jit/libjavascriptcoregtk_1_0_la-ExecutableAllocatorFixedVMPool.lo
am__objects_40 = \
	Source/JavaScriptCore/API/libjavascriptcoregtk_1_0_la-JSBase.lo \
	Source/JavaScriptCore/API/libjavascriptcoregtk_1_0_la-JSCallbackConstructor.lo \
	:
        :
        :
        :
	Source/JavaScriptCore/yarr/libjavascriptcoregtk_1_0_la-YarrJIT.lo \
	Source/JavaScriptCore/yarr/libjavascriptcoregtk_1_0_la-YarrPattern.lo \
	Source/JavaScriptCore/yarr/libjavascriptcoregtk_1_0_la-YarrSyntaxChecker.lo \
	$(am__objects_39) \{Slash added here}
am_libjavascriptcoregtk_1_0_la_OBJECTS =  \
	$(am__objects_40)

I want to resolve it by changing from .am file. Also i would like to know the rootcause of this issue. Please help me on this.

Any specific reason you're disabling JIT support?
The slash-adding fix is not technically correct, but I think it gives solid guidance to where to look at for the core problem.

Having another look at this, the slash addition fix doesn't make much sense.

Is this problem still occurring?

This is resolved, The issue was with the target platform, since we were using i686-pc-linux-gnu on the embedded system on which we were trying to port webkit.

Thanks.
