[webkit-dev] Building WebKit using auto tools

[Dozier, Bill]

That's funny, it's just the opposite for me.

I'm trying to build on RHEL3 Linux (gcc 4.2.2). After running autogen, I run make and it starts complaining about not finding xcode:

$ make
make[1]: Entering directory `/workplace2/build/WebKit/JavaScriptCore'
( xcodebuild -target All `perl -I../WebKitTools/Scripts -Mwebkitdirs -e 'print XcodeOptionString()'`  | grep -v setenv && exit ${PIPESTATUS[0]} )
/bin/sh: line 1: xcodebuild: command not found
make[1]: *** [all] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/workplace2/build/WebKit/JavaScriptCore'
make: *** [all] Error 2

So, I'm using the old, to-be-deprecated-soon qmake method and plodding along, installing everything that's missing. I'm up to this point:

rm: cannot remove `/workplace2/build/WebKit/WebKitBuild/Debug/WebCore': Is a directory
Calling 'qmake CONFIG+=gtk-port CONFIG-=qt -r OUTPUT_DIR=/workplace2/build/WebKit/WebKitBuild/Debug /workplace2/build/WebKit/WebKit.pro CONFIG-=release CONFIG+=debug' in /workplace2/build/WebKit/WebKitBuild/Debug

cd WebCore/ && make -f Makefile
make[1]: Entering directory `/workplace2/build/WebKit/WebKitBuild/Debug/WebCore'

make[1]: *** [tmp/chartables.c] Error 255
make[1]: Leaving directory `/workplace2/build/WebKit/WebKitBuild/Debug/WebCore'
make: *** [sub-WebCore-make_default-ordered] Error 2

...and still working on it.
