Bug 76990 – [GTK] Build failure: missing 'libgpg-error' and 'atk' dependencies

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: WONTFIX
• Component: Tools / Tests

[Grzegorz Czajkowski]

Add 'libgpg-error' and 'atk' libraries that are required with higher version than exist in Ubuntu 10.10 for successfully compile WebKitGTK.

This patch doesn't improve WebKit's build for new OS like Ubunutu 11.10 but without it WebKitGtk can not be built with older stuff.

Before this point the jhbuild file has been used to bring in proper dependencies to ensure consistent test results. I'm not sure this is the appropriate fix. Where are these dependencies coming from? It might be an accident that we require such a new version of ATK.

The dependency, in particular, is listed here: http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/BuildingGtk If there are others that are missing we should list them.

All dependencies from http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/BuildingGtk are installed and I my opinion all of them are listed. The main problem is that libgcrpyt which is downloaded and complied by jhbuild requires higher version of libgpg-error (>=1.8) than is available in Ubuntu 10.10 (libgpg-error-dev 1.6-1ubuntu2), even after apt-get update, upgrade.

I agree with you that it can't be proper fix but my idea was adding libgpg-error as it's done for gnutls which requires libgcrypt and p11-kit. The same issue occurs for atk.

gcrypt, gnutls, p11-kit were added in a hurry, we were actually planning to remove them, actually, and make them dependencies that you should install via your package manager; if you remove those, do you still have problems? ATK may make more sense, though, since we rely on it directly and it should not bring a list of deps of its own

Closing this as per my explanation.
