Bug 200124 – [WPE][GTK] build-webkit should set CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH and CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH properly

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

[Michael Catanzaro]

Continuing discussion from bug #197934, build-webkit needs to set CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH and CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH. r165452 attempted to do this, but I think it didn't work because these are not environment variables.

Also: thanks Fujii, Don, and Charlie for discussion and help.

I tried this little patch:

But it's not enough, see my comment in bug #197934. We might want to do this anyway, but it won't fix the present issue.

This bug is invalid. From https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/command/find_library.html, we see:

"""
Search paths specified in cmake-specific environment variables. These are intended to be set in the user’s shell configuration, and therefore use the host’s native path separator (; on Windows and : on UNIX). This can be skipped if NO_CMAKE_ENVIRONMENT_PATH is passed.
<prefix>/lib/<arch> if CMAKE_LIBRARY_ARCHITECTURE is set, and <prefix>/lib for each <prefix> in CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH
CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH
CMAKE_FRAMEWORK_PATH
"""

i.e. they should be respected as environment variables. Closing.
