Bug 202058 – Weird build failure on Fedora for 2.26.0 - libXslt

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: WPE WebKit

[Chris King]

Trying to build the new version on Fedora, I get this error

-- Found LibXslt: /usr/lib64/libxslt.so (found suitable version "1.1.33", minimum required is "1.1.7") 

As far as I know, 1.1.7 of LibXslt is either ancient or nonexistant and 1.1.33 is the newest version (at least based on their github releases) so I'm thinking something is probably messed up here.

While I'm here, I notice we also need atk now for build, is that also something that I should be including as a normal requirement (i.e. is it necessary for WPEWebkit to function), or only for building?

Thanks in advance!

This doesn't look like an error. Can you post the whole configure log?

Yes, ATK is now required.

At the moment passing “-DENABLE_ACCESSIBILITY=OFF” to CMake is possible,
and that will skip the ATK dependency, but be aware that disabling this
is something that we do *NOT* officially support and may stop working
without notice.

Here is what I think you mean by configure log.

That's the error. bubblewrap is required to build with sandboxing support. It can still be disabled via ENABLE_BUBBLEWRAP_SANDBOX=OFF.

Ah, sorry, learning how to read cmake output well seems to be a skill that forever alludes me.

Thanks for the help!
