[webkit-gtk] webkit-gtk-2.4.2 build failure: multiple definition of read, readlink, getcwd, etc.

[Leonardo Taccari]

Hello to the entire webkit-gtk community!
I am a NetBSD[0] user and a pkgsrc[1] user and maintainer...
Our www/webkit-gtk[2] in pkgsrc is a bit outdated and so I am trying to
update it altough the building failes, here the interesting parts of the
log:

I am building webkit-gtk with gcc-4.8 under NetBSD/i386 6.1.4.
Using grep(1) in the source code does not help (I am not able to find any
redefinition as pointed by ld).

You can find the wip package (the one I am trying to build) here:

 http://pkgsrc-wip.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pkgsrc-wip/wip/webkit-gtk/

Webkit is build passing the following configure arguments:

 --with-target=x11
 --with-font-backend=freetype
 --disable-geolocation
 --with-gtk=2.0
 --disable-webkit2

More information about gcc:

Anyone has this or similar problems?
I would like to help fixing it in order to finally update webkit-gtk in
pkgsrc.
