Description Michael Catanzaro 2021-08-16 10:43:14 PDT
2.33.3 does not build with -DENABLE_GTK_DOC=ON:

jsc-glib-4.0-scan.c:34: error: undefined reference to 'jsc_class_get_type'
jsc-glib-4.0-scan.c:35: error: undefined reference to 'jsc_context_get_type'
jsc-glib-4.0-scan.c:36: error: undefined reference to 'jsc_exception_get_type'
jsc-glib-4.0-scan.c:37: error: undefined reference to 'jsc_value_get_type'
jsc-glib-4.0-scan.c:38: error: undefined reference to 'jsc_virtual_machine_get_type'
jsc-glib-4.0-scan.c:39: error: undefined reference to 'jsc_weak_value_get_type'

Example failures:

1. https://gnome.pages.gitlab.gnome.org/-/gnome-build-meta/-/jobs/1457787/artifacts/logs/gnome/sdk-webkitgtk/31ad2288-build.14200.log
2. https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//work/tasks/3009/73963009/build.log

I don't immediately see what's wrong, so I'll probably wind up bisecting it, I suppose. Note that -DENABLE_DEVELOPER_MODE=ON (used by build-webkit) would hide this error since that exports everything.

The right flag is -DENABLE_GTKDOC=ON. And for some reason my build from trunk did not fail, even though both GNOME and Fedora builds failed. I'll need to investigate harder....
Comment 2 Carlos Garcia Campos 2021-08-16 23:31:05 PDT
And Berto reported the same error in debian.
Comment 3 Alberto Garcia 2021-08-17 02:17:43 PDT
I made some preliminary investigation, this is the command line that fails:

   /usr/bin/cc jsc-glib-4.0-scan.o -L/tmp/webkit2gtk-2.33.3/build/lib -L -ljavascriptcoregtk-4.0 -lgobject-2.0 -lglib-2.0 -Wl,-z,relro -Wl,-z,now -fuse-ld=gold -Wl,--disable-new-dtags -o jsc-glib-4.0-scan

The problem seems to be the " -L " option with no value, if you remove that and run the command manually it builds. This comes from the .pc file:

   $ grep Libs /tmp/webkit2gtk-2.33.3/build/Source/JavaScriptCore/javascriptcoregtk-4.0.pc
   Libs: -L -ljavascriptcoregtk-4.0

This is -L${libdir} , so ${libdir} is empty

I haven't tested it yet, but I suspect it broke in r280382 "[WPE][GTK] SVN_REVISION drifting away if bots don't re-run cmake"

That patch didn't change anything related to LIB_INSTALL_DIR though.

OTOH LIB_INSTALL_DIR should be either lib or lib64 IIUC?

Why do we have this in OptionsCommon?

# GTK and WPE use the GNU installation directories as defaults.
if (NOT PORT STREQUAL "GTK" AND NOT PORT STREQUAL "WPE")
    set(LIB_INSTALL_DIR "${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/lib" CACHE PATH "Absolute path to library installation directory")
    set(EXEC_INSTALL_DIR "${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/bin" CACHE PATH "Absolute path to executable installation directory")
    set(LIBEXEC_INSTALL_DIR "${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/bin" CACHE PATH "Absolute path to install executables executed by the library")
endif ()

Squinting closer at this commit, I no longer think it's to blame. Hmmm

GTK and WPE ports are a bit smarter, see e.g. OptionsGTK.cmake:

# These are shared variables, but we special case their definition so that we can use the
# CMAKE_INSTALL_* variables that are populated by the GNUInstallDirs macro.
set(LIB_INSTALL_DIR "${CMAKE_INSTALL_FULL_LIBDIR}" CACHE PATH "Absolute path to library installation directory")
set(EXEC_INSTALL_DIR "${CMAKE_INSTALL_FULL_BINDIR}" CACHE PATH "Absolute path to executable installation directory")
set(LIBEXEC_INSTALL_DIR "${CMAKE_INSTALL_FULL_LIBEXECDIR}/webkit2gtk-${WEBKITGTK_API_VERSION}" CACHE PATH "Absolute path to install executables executed by the library")

Ah no, that's definitely it. Problem is you removed @ONLY from the configure_file() calls in order to allow CMake to replace ${BUILD_REVISION}, but now it also replaces the other placeholders like ${libdir} which we don't want. We'll need to switch back to using @ONLY.

Or use @..@ instead ${..} ?
Comment 10 Michael Catanzaro 2021-08-17 08:42:57 PDT
Well we definitely need @ONLY because we do not want to expand the pkg-config variables like ${prefix} or ${libdir}. So yes, that means we'll need to switch from ${BUILD_REVISION} to @BUILD_REVISION@.
Comment 11 Michael Catanzaro 2021-08-17 08:51:56 PDT
I think we'll need to run apply-build-revision-to-files.py first, since updating @BUILD_REVISION@ is the first step that needs to happen, *then* do CMake configure in a separate step. Yes? Because the way it is now, if we switch from ${BUILD_REVISION} to @BUILD_REVISION@, then CMake is going to replace @BUILD_REVISION@ before apply-build-revision-to-files.py runs, and then the python script will do nothing. So we'd need to switch from *.in suffix to *.in.in. Phil, do you agree?

The python script actually has logic now to restore the revision=${BUILD_REVISION} template in already expanded .pc files.
Comment 13 Philippe Normand 2021-08-17 09:11:34 PDT
Another issue is that the python script is not included in tarballs, initially it was meant only for developer builds.

So in theory, all we need to do is switch back to @@ and everything ought to work. Yes? I'm going to attach a patch that does this. Unfortunately, my testing indicates this patch reintroduces bug #228290, although I'm not sure why. At least it should fix the build failures, though. Distros: you'll need to remove the changes to apply-build-revision-to-files.py because this file is not included in release tarballs.

is this set in CMake now for tarballs? `set(BUILD_REVISION "tarball")` somewhere?

Yes, that is handled in OptionsGTK.cmake and OptionsWPE.cmake.

That's likely an orthogonal issue. Your patch shouldn't introduce change in behavior in dev builds, and actually fixes tarball builds, so let's get it in IMHO.

I just wanted to confirm that this fixed the build in Debian, thanks!
