• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED

I'm trying to build WebKitGTK+ 2.18.0 on macOS Sierra. The process is blocked by a missing file:

/opt/local/var/macports/build/_Users_yen_Projects_macports-ports_www_webkit2-gtk/webkit2-gtk/work/webkitgtk-2.18.0/Source/WTF/wtf/threads/Signals.cpp:33:10: fatal error: 'MachExceptionsServer.h' file not found
#include "MachExceptionsServer.h"
         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Seems this header is generated by [1]. However, this cmake file is missing from the release tarball at [2] and apparently it's excluded explicitly [3]. Could them be added back? Thanks for any feedback.

The original issue is fixed after https://github.com/WebKit/webkit/commit/ebd290d9fba427a15c6fd8227e022fbc72cc8765. Thanks for the work!
