Bug 18825 – webkitgtk fails to build from source: "Database Tracker" has not been declared

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

[nousername]

The last several webkit nightlies have failed to build from source, including the current 32698. The build fails in the same place -- it's looking for an included DatabaseTracker.h file that simply doesn't exist. Note that the attached log snippet indicates a few other errors that probably don't matter; what's important is the missing file.

The last webkit nightly to successfully build for me is 31787.

FTBFS on Gentoo Linux AMD64, gcc 4.1.2, glibc-2.6.1-r0, binutils 2.18-r1. CFLAGS: -O2 -march=athlon64

(I've commented out the included header file in line 33 of ChromeGlientGtk.cpp, as well as line 318 of the same file. Recompiling now. Takes awhile. :))

Error snippet. The compile was successful up until this point, and then it errored out when it hit the include for a nonexistent file.

Whaddaya know. Seems this works; commenting out the include and the code that tries to call it lets the latest nightly build for me. And it even seems to run too; the Midori webbrowser is using it right now.

Solution: remove lines 33 and 318 from WebKit/gtk/WebCoreSupport/ChromeClientGtk.cpp

Seems like Alp fixed this in revision 34084, but I still get runtime errors:
