Created attachment 86281 [details] Windows XP linking errors When trying to build Qt Webkit on Windows XP using MinGW, I get linking errors. I've attached the error output. I looked through exiting bugs and didn't see one for this. I followed the instruction here and built using MinGW: http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/BuildingQtOnWindows
To determine whether the problem is due to the setting of the QWEBKIT_EXPORT macro, I added the following two lines to qwebkitglobal.h. #define QT_MAKEDLL #define BUILDING_WEBKIT By doing the above, I was able to get it to link. But I could not figure out how to set these through the .pro/pri files properly. Still working on that.
The log shows I used c:\Qt\2010.05 but the same problem exists with C:\Qt\4.7.2.
Created attachment 86286 [details] Change to qwebkitglobal.h This change seems to fix the problem. Need to check other builds to make sure it doesn't cause any regression.
After speaking with Laszlo Gombos, this seems like qt layering violations we may be able to fix. I will start looking at that and seeing if I can instead submit patches for the layering violations.

Created attachment 86760 [details] Change to webcore.pro to export qtwebkit symbols This patch sets the BUILDING_WEBKIT & QT_MAKEDLL macros which in turn will define the QTWEBKIT_EXPORT macro as follows: #define QWEBKIT_EXPORT Q_DECL_EXPORT This patch also solves the problem.

LGTM. Ossy could you check whether this also works on your setup? Nancy, please upload a patch with a ChangeLog for the change and set the r? flag if you'd like the patch to get into trunk and to let the EWS' process it. For more information see: http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/QtWebKitContrib
I tried it, and it works on my Windows machine with MinGW. Laszlo, have you got any objection against Nancy's fix? (apart from missing ChangeLog)

Created attachment 87075 [details] Link error while --3d-canvas option is enabled (In reply to comment #9) > Created an attachment (id=86943) [details] > Fixes linking errors in Qt Webkit Windows MinGW build. For building QtWebKit with applying Nancy's patch and WebGL supported (by enabling --3d-canvas option), other undefined references occur again. These undefined references are all about OpenGL functions. (i.e. glDeleteTextures@8) After digging in the building process, I found that these undefined references should be declared in -lopengl32 option (mingw/lib/libopengl32.a). When building QtWebKit4.dll, the linking option -lopengl32 is before -lwebcore, and the undefined references in libwebcore.a miss their linkage. For quick workaround, I appended -lopengl32 behind the LIBS variable in Source/WebCore/WebCore.pri: -------------------------------------- --- WebCore.pri.orig 2011-03-26 18:01:54.000000000 +0800 +++ WebCore.pri 2011-03-27 23:51:14.000000000 +0800 @@ -368,7 +368,7 @@ POST_TARGETDEPS += $${pathToWebCoreOutput}$${QMAKE_DIR_SEP}$${WEBCORE_TARGET}.lib } else { QMAKE_LIBDIR = $$pathToWebCoreOutput $$QMAKE_LIBDIR - LIBS = -l$$WEBCORE_TARGET $$LIBS + LIBS = -l$$WEBCORE_TARGET $$LIBS -lopengl32 POST_TARGETDEPS += $${pathToWebCoreOutput}$${QMAKE_DIR_SEP}lib$${WEBCORE_TARGET}.a } -------------------------------------- And the building is passed.
