webkit svn revision 43796 doesn't build on linux.

I have never seen this. What platform/architecture/toolchain are you using?
linux, 32bit. gcc 4.4, glibc 2.10 and binutils 2.19.1 the 1.1.7 source tarball builds fine http://webkitgtk.org/webkit-1.1.7.tar.gz I don't know why it doesn't build from svn.
Same problem here. Linux 32bit (2.6.29), gcc 4.4.0, libc 2.10.1, binutils 2.19.1. From a bit of googling, it appears that gcc is generating the wrong asm because it can't figure out the arch, so it's generating for 64bit. If I export "-march=i686" in CFLAGS/CPPFLAGS/CXXFLAGS before calling configure I can at least get it to compile, but then during linking I get the following error: libtool: link: ar cru .libs/libWebCoreJS.a DerivedSources/.libs/JSCSSCharsetRule.o [lots of other files...] DerivedSources/.libs/JSSVGZoomEvent.o ar: DerivedSources/.libs/JSCSSCharsetRule.o: No such file or directory make[1]: *** [libWebCoreJS.la] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/builds/WebKit' make: *** [all] Error 2 None of the object files are in DerivedSources/.libs (or anywhere in the tree). There are a few object files there, but none of the ones that it's looking for. $ ls DerivedSource/.libs/ libWebCore_la-CSSGrammar.o libWebCore_la-SVGNames.o libWebCore_la-HTMLElementFactory.o libWebCore_la-UserAgentStyleSheetsData.o libWebCore_la-HTMLEntityNames.o libWebCore_la-XLinkNames.o libWebCore_la-HTMLNames.o libWebCore_la-XMLNames.o libWebCore_la-JSHTMLElementWrapperFactory.o libWebCore_la-XPathGrammar.o libWebCore_la-JSSVGElementWrapperFactory.o libwebkit_1_0_la-webkitenumtypes.o libWebCore_la-SVGElementFactory.o libwebkit_1_0_la-webkitmarshal.o Can't find anything helpful on google. :( Ps. I get the error even after a fresh pull into a new directory, using the following command line to configure: $ CPPFLAGS="-march=i686" CXXFLAGS="-march=i686" CFLAGS="-march=i686" ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --enable-gnomekeyring
(In reply to comment #3) > Same problem here. Linux 32bit (2.6.29), gcc 4.4.0, libc 2.10.1, binutils > 2.19.1. > [snip] Hmm. I just tried building with the build-webkit script in a clean tree, and it worked. $ CPPFLAGS="-march=i686" CXXFLAGS="-march=i686" CFLAGS="-march=i686" WebKitTools/Scripts/build-webkit --release --gtk --gnomekeyring [snip] =========================================================== WebKit is now built. Didn't try it without the *FLAGS vars. Maybe something wonky with autotools when using ./autogen.sh? (I'm on Arch with automake 1.11, autoconf 2.63)
For posterity, this is what currently works for me to build and install WebKit: $ WebKitInstallationPrefix=/usr \ CPPFLAGS="-march=i686" \ CXXFLAGS="-march=i686" \ CFLAGS="-march=i686" \ WebKitTools/Scripts/build-webkit \ --release --gtk --gnomekeyring $ cd WebKitBuild/Release $ sudo make install
After some more digging it appears that the gcc version in Arch (4.4.0-20090505) is the source of the problem: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/14825
Given that Hussam was also using Arch with the same buggy GCC build (see http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/14825), this bug should be marked as invalid.
Closed as INVALID.
