Summary line ending strip suggestion in KeywordLookupGenerator.py

Reported 2011-06-23 01:49:17 PDT
Hi, I am trying to build Webkit in Cygwin. The source is checkout with TortoiseSVN. When I run build-webkit, KeywordLookupGenerator.py throws error of "expected description ending with @end". I think it's a line ending issue. I suggest making a small improvement in this script: In about line 68: if not terminator == "@end" Change it to: if not terminator.rstrip() == "@end" It works for me currently although I am trying to fix another compiling issues... Thanks a lot! Cameron Wong

Does making this change alone fix the build for you? <http://www.webkit.org/building/checkout.html> says that one should use cygwin version of svn, and I thought that a lot would break if TortoiseSVN (or another client that changes line endings) were used.

I think it is highly likely that there are lots of line-ending-related issue to be found if you use a non-Cygwin version of Subversion. But it would be nice to make it work! Peter Kasting did some work in this area a while back; he may know more.

In general I think it's a good things to make scripts able to handle both CR and CRLF. I fixed enough issues long ago that I think there shouldn't be all that many remaining, but I would imagine they also creep in over time. I'm not going to post a patch for this particular case because I don't know python, though.

> Does making this change alone fix the build for you? No. Besides adding rstrip() in KeywordLookupGenerator.py, I also added following setting in Cygwin.bat before launching bash. This can fix the issue of failing to run shell scripts before of bad line ending. set SHELLOPTS=igncr Then, I got error of non-ASCII character in: Source\WebCore\platform\DefaultLocalizationStrategy.cpp I changed the non-ASCII string into English. There is another file (forget the filename) that is non-ASCII character, but I could't find with my eye. So I re-saved that file in ASCII-only format. Now `build-webkit --debug` is successfully finish running although I am trying to figuring out how to `debug-safari`.

There is another file (forget the filename) that is non-ASCII character, but I could't find with my eye. So I re-saved that file in ASCII-only format. Can you file a separate bug for these cases? We should fix these regardless; embedded Unicode (or other encodings) can cause various problems for particular build environments.

I was facing the same bug in Ubuntu, even after the patch for cygwin. In my case the CR-LF line endings were added to all the files in the repo. So I faced this problem in shebang for the build script file too. Temporarily resolved the issue by commenting the check for cygwin. Will converting the CR-LF to LF work on windows? In that case, there won't be any need for the platform check, i.e. regardless of the platform, the CR-LF, if present, will be converted to LF.
