[webkit-gtk] Problem building WebKitGTK to use custom copy of libsoup

[S Boucher]

This is an indirect answer, or more like a suggestion...

libsoup is pkg-config friendly.  So, build libsoup and install it to a private location.

Then set your PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable to point to your private location.  Then configure will work out everything else for you.

e.g.:
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=<private_install_dir>/lib/pkgconfig${PKG_CONFIG_PATH:+:}${PKG_CONFIG_PATH}
./configure ....


You shouldn't need to mess around with LIBSOUP_CFLAGS and such.
