Bug 130933 – [GTK] WebKit2-4.0.gir build failure with -fuse-ld=gold

• Status: NEW
• Component: WebKitGTK

[Fryderyk Dziarmagowski]

When building with -fuse-ld=gold linking of WebKit-3.0.gir fails complaining about undefined symbol:

/home/users/builder/rpm/BUILD/webkitgtk-2.4.0/tmp-introspectyupgf5/.libs/WebKit-3.0: symbol lookup error: /home/users/builder/rpm/BUILD/webkitgtk-2.4.0/tmp-introspectyupgf5/.libs/WebKit-3.0: undefined symbol: webkit_dom_media_controller_get_type
Command '['/home/users/builder/rpm/BUILD/webkitgtk-2.4.0/tmp-introspectyupgf5/WebKit-3.0', '--introspect-dump=/home/users/builder/rpm/BUILD/webkitgtk-2.4.0/tmp-introspectyupgf5/functions.txt,/home/users/builder/rpm/BUILD/webkitgtk-2.4.0/tmp-introspectyupgf5/dump.xml']' returned non-zero exit status 127
GNUmakefile:82467: recipe for target 'WebKit-3.0.gir' failed

Building with standard ld seems to work fine.

It might be a case of https://wiki.debian.org/ToolChain/DSOLinking#Not_resolving_symbols_in_indirect_dependent_shared_libraries

i got below error with: 

"-DCMAKE_LINKER=/usr/bin/ld.gold -DUSE_LD_GOLD=ON -DCMAKE_SKIP_RPATH=ON"
 
[ 99%] Generating ../../WebKit2-4.0.gir
ERROR: can't resolve libraries to shared libraries: javascriptcoregtk-4.0, webkit2gtk-4.0
Source/WebKit2/CMakeFiles/WebKit2-4-gir.dir/build.make:57: recipe for target 'WebKit2-4.0.gir' failed


my distro is archlinux.stock gcc and binutils.

default "ld" is "ld.bfd". So /usr/bin/ld = /usr/bin/ld.bfd

/usr/bin/ld.gold = gold linker

gcc-5.2.0  binutils-2.25.1  gtk-master   webkitgtk-2.9.4

i am curious what happening.please help a bit. i attacthed CMakeCache.txt and

"Source/WebKit2/CMakeFiles/WebKit2-4-gir.dir/build.make"

"cd /home/me/webkitgtk/src/build/Source/WebKit2"  to allow finishing to build as
