webkit build log
Hi all,
I am using 'qemu x86 defconfig' predefined options set with additionnal packages to build webkit 1.2.7 on directfb.
But it fails on building webkit due to X11 message like:WebCore/bridge/npapi.h:105:26: fatal error: X11/Xlib.h: No such file or directory
Please find in attachment config file and webkit log.

--- Comment #2 from Thomas Petazzoni <[email protected]> 2012-08-17 16:16:26 UTC --- Thanks Vincent for the report. It is similar to
http://autobuild.buildroot.net/results/74637e3a3e4c37c3af0f3662504c28332e9c586c/build-end.log.
We need to investigate if this is really Webkit that doesn't support DirectFB as a Gtk backend. If this is the case, then we simply need to prevent Webkit from being built if the selected Gtk backend is DirectFB.
Or it is just a bug in Webkit that shouldn't include this header file, or should include it conditionnally or something like that.
I personaly don't have enough time right now to dig into Webkit, so if you could have a look at this and give us your conclusions, it would be great. Thanks!

The Kindle K4 and K5 come from the factory with a webkit browser that works on the directFB device.
Not sure if it is using Gtk, but it is using X11.

Not sure if it is using Gtk, but it is using X11.
And also not sure how many patches they have on top of the standard Webkit :)

Resolution| |WONTFIX--- Comment #3 from Thomas Petazzoni <[email protected]> 2013-05-26 17:05:12 UTC --- We have deprecated the DirectFB backend of Gtk, because it is unmaintained
upstream, and it has been causing build issues for quite some time. Therefore, Gtk-Webkit on top of DirectFB is mostly dead, unless someone steps up with the corresponding upstream projects to maintain the DirectFB backend.
