Description YuYang 2012-01-11 23:38:17 PST 
I updated the local source tree to  revision 104794, and tried to build webkit following the instructions at  http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/BuildingGtk. 

This page tells that we need to download and build all jhbuild modules with the following command:

  $ Tools/Scripts/update-webkitgtk-libs

However, I got errors with this command. 

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/myhome/webkit/WebKitBuild/Dependencies/Source/libsoup'
make: *** [all] Error 2
*** Error during phase build of libsoup: ########## Error running make -j 4 *** [13/14]
*** module webkitgtk-testing-dependencies not built due to non buildable libsoup *** [14/14]
*** the following modules were not built *** [14/14]

Can you actually paste the libsoup compilation failures? Without those it's impossible to resolve this bug.

I experienced similar error at r125149.

In the bunch of error messages, I found the line says that my ubuntu 12.04 does not have `libgnutls-dev` package. (I guess it's a TLS library)

After install that package, the WebKitGTK+ build was succeeded.

I edited wiki page. :)

YuYang does that fix the error you were having?
Comment 4 Alberto Garcia 2013-09-14 12:07:26 PDT 
This is one year old, and libgnutls-dev is automatically installed with Tools/gtk/install-dependencies, so I'm closing this bug.
