[webkit-dev] OSX: Linking to custom build resorts to system version...

[Nikolay Tsenkov]

Hello,

I’ve tried to load the framework through dlopen, but I still can’t get it to work. I’ve posted a question on stackoverflow <http://stackoverflow.com/questions/33867086/why-doesnt-dlopen-work-with-a-custom-build-of-webkit-framework>, specifically for that.
Here is my fork of the webkit repo on github, with a single commit of mine <https://github.com/nicroto/webkit/commit/309358b78007205fb1f41cd464be3d08b7a9b279> on top of a custom branch (daw). I’ve synced (rebased with latest master) this morning.

Can someone, please, help me out?


Regards,
Nikolay Tsenkov

But if I link to the custom build (the WebView header is the new one, I’ve checked) in run time the app breaks with “-[WebView initWithFrame:samplingRate:frameName:groupName:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance” from which I infer it’s using the system version of the WebView.
