Hey, I'm a crude newbie to this stuff, but I followed the instructions to the letter on updating webkit and then building it. After the update, I ran WebKitTools/Scripts/build-webkit The terminal runs the process, but then stops here Ld "/Users/taki/Custom Builds/WebCore.framework/Versions/A/WebCore" normal ppc setenv MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET 10.3 cd /Users/taki/WebCore /usr/bin/g++-4.0 -o "/Users/taki/Custom Builds/WebCore.framework/ Versions/A/WebCore" "-L/Users/taki/Custom Builds" -L/Users/taki/ Custom -LBuilds/WebCore.build/WebCore.build/DerivedSources "-F/Users/ taki/Custom Builds" -F/System/Library/Frameworks/WebKit.framework/ Frameworks -filelist "/Users/taki/Custom Builds/WebCore.build/ WebCore.build/Objects-normal/ppc/WebCore.LinkFileList" -framework ApplicationServices -framework Carbon -framework Cocoa -framework JavaScriptCore -licucore -lxslt -arch ppc -Wl,- exported_symbols_list,WebCore.exp -Wl,-single_module -dynamiclib - compatibility_version 1 -current_version 1 -install_name /System/ Library/Frameworks/WebKit.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/ WebCore.framework/Versions/A/WebCore -lxml2-WebCore /usr/bin/libtool: can't locate file for: -lxml2-WebCore /usr/bin/libtool: file: -lxml2-WebCore is not an object file (not allowed in a library) ** BUILD FAILED ** How do I get this -lxml2-WebCore file that it's looking for?

Safari with WebKit, can't drag URLs
by Boyd Waters 07 Jun '05

Just built the WebKit with the XCode 2.1 work-arounds, and sure enough my Safari passes the Acid2 test! But now I cannot drag URLs from the location bar of Safari to (for example) the Finder. With the previous WebKit, I was able to drag URLs to the Finder to save "webloc" files. Each time I attempt to drag a URL from the location bar icon (the favicon), a message is printed to the console: > 2005-06-07 17:04:01.570 Safari[7622] *** -[NSCFArray addObject:]: > attempt to insert nil > 2005-06-07 17:04:40.611 Safari[7622] *** -[NSCFArray addObject:]: > attempt to insert nil > 2005-06-07 17:04:43.172 Safari[7622] *** -[NSCFArray addObject:]: > attempt to insert nil > 2005-06-07 17:04:57.394 Safari[7622] *** -[NSCFArray addObject:]: > attempt to insert nil > 2005-06-07 17:05:01.326 Safari[7622] *** -[NSCFArray addObject:]: > attempt to insert nil > Still, it was easy to build, and it seems to work quite well! ~ boyd Boyd Waters National Radio Astronomy Observatory Socorro, New Mexico http://www.aoc.nrao.edu/~bwaters

building CVS with xcode 2.1
by Nicolas Berloquin 07 Jun '05

07 Jun '05

Hello ! I'm new to the list, but judging from the archive, I guess everyone is :D First of all, bravo for the clean cvs update/build scripts and docs ! I downloaded the latest CVS sources and started builing on tiger 10.4.1 with XCode 2.1 (yesterday's xcode release). It seems that webkit building has not been tested with this version yet. I get a series of errors, the first one being about using -buildstyle which is deprecated (instead of the new -configuration). I edited the Makefile.am in each directory, and the build-webkit script to change that, and the error is no longer reported. But I still get the following error : Ld /Users/nicolas/devs/xcodebuilds/Deployment/WebKit.framework/ Versions/A/WebKit normal ppc mkdir /Users/nicolas/devs/xcodebuilds/Deployment/ WebKit.framework/Versions/A cd /Users/nicolas/devs/webkit/WebKit setenv MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET 10.3 /usr/bin/g++-4.0 -o /Users/nicolas/devs/xcodebuilds/Deployment/ WebKit.framework/Versions/A/WebKit -L/Users/nicolas/devs/xcodebuilds/ Deployment -F/Users/nicolas/devs/xcodebuilds/Deployment -F/System/ Library/Frameworks/WebKit.framework/Frameworks -F/System/Library/ Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Frameworks -F/System/Library/ Frameworks/Carbon.framework/Frameworks -F/System/Library/ PrivateFrameworks -F/Users/nicolas/devs/xcodebuilds/WebKit.build/ Deployment/WebKit.build/DerivedSources -filelist /Users/nicolas/devs/ xcodebuilds/WebKit.build/Deployment/WebKit.build/Objects-normal/ppc/ WebKit.LinkFileList -framework ApplicationServices -framework Carbon - framework Cocoa -framework JavaScriptCore -framework WebCore - licucore -framework Security -lWebKitSystemInterface -arch ppc -Wl,- exported_symbols_list,WebKit.exp -Wl,-single_module -dynamiclib - compatibility_version 1 -current_version 1 -install_name /System/ Library/Frameworks/WebKit.framework/Versions/A/WebKit /usr/bin/libtool: can't locate file for: -lWebKitSystemInterface /usr/bin/libtool: file: -lWebKitSystemInterface is not an object file (not allowed in a library) And I don't know what I can do about that. What you need to know is that the deprecated error that I had was at the beginning of the build, right after print "${productDir}/libWebKitSystemInterface.a"; And I also get this warning right after the print of libWebKitSystemInterface.a: WARNING: The Xcode plugin at path /Library/Application Support/Apple/ Developer Tools/Plug-ins/J2EEAssistant.pbplugin is missing the XCPluginHasUI Info.plist key, it is assumed to have UI and will not be loaded by xcodebuild. which doesn't seem to be related to the build error. One more thing, a suggestion : Once I get it to compile, I plan to modify the target CPU/pipeline etc to -Os and the G5 cpu. I guess that a lot of mac heads will want to try that type of optimizations. I also noticed that the deployment target is 10.3. Maybe you could put all those options in a separate global file that could be easilly modified ? thanks ^_^

This is just a test message. Ignore it when you read it in the archives. ;) -- Gramps
