Bug 163449 – [GTK] Configures but fails to link with ENABLE_OPENGL=OFF

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: WebKitGTK

[ManDay]

On native wayland (therefore only GLES2 with current mesa), the following (apparently nonsensical) combination of flags passes configuration but ultimately fails to link:

cmake -DENABLE_GLES2=ON -DENABLE_OPENGL=OFF

OK, really? Because when we discussed this in IRC, I thought we decided you had not been passing -DENABLE_GLES2=ON at all. We do have code to ensure CMake throws an error if you try this configuration. Please, post the full output of CMake, down through the feature list.

This is not accurate either, you can use wayland with EGL + opengl es API, which is the default if you don't pass -DENABLE_GLES2=ON

What is broken is -DENABLE_OPENGL=OFF

Output from CMake

Here is the complete configuration pass from 1.14.1 with

cmake -DPORT=GTK -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DENABLE_ACCESSIBILITY=OFF -DENABLE_CHANNEL_MESSAGING=OFF -DENABLE_CSS3_TEXT=ON -DENABLE_GEOLOCATION=OFF -DENABLE_INTROSPECTION=OFF -DENABLE_FTPDIR=ON -DENABLE_MEDIA_SOURCE=ON -DENABLE_MINIBROWSER=ON -DENABLE_NOTIFICATIONS=OFF -DUSE_LD_GOLD=OFF -DUSE_LIBHYPHEN=OFF -DUSE_LIBNOTIFY=OFF -DENABLE_CREDENTIAL_STORAGE=OFF -DENABLE_SPELLCHECK=OFF -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="$HOME/local" -DENABLE_OPENGL=OFF -DENABLE_GLES2=ON -DENABLE_WEB_REPLAY=ON -DENABLE_WEB_ANIMATIONS=ON -DENABLE_PLUGIN_PROCESS_GTK2=OFF ..

I see:

-- Disabling ENABLE_GLES2 since ENABLE_OPENGL is disabled.

And in the feature list:

--  ENABLE_GLES2 .......................... OFF

So our feature dependency checking is working properly; it's not possible to use this combination of flags. We should just fix (or remove) the -DENABLE_OPENGL=OFF build.

Anyway, please post the linker error here. It's not really useful to have a build failure bug report without the build failure. :)
