           Summary: [GTK] Gtk-directfb and plugins
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit Gtk
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: smagellan at gmail.com


It is impossible to build nightly webkit for gtk-directfb target, port is
broken. That's because Netscape plugins call to low-level windowing subsystem
directly, instead of calling to gtk or QT "wrapping stuff". The problem can be
described as follows:

1) Compile-time problems: There are no X11-headers(problem lines looks like
"#include X11/*" ), mainly used by npapi.h
2) There are no X11 libs, so even if you provide X11-headers at compile time,
you will get link-time errors.

The solution is to add some ifdefs to source files, plus some preprocessor
macrodefinitions. Provided patches work pretty well for me (I use
WebKit-r49078), at least GtkLauncher works good with "plugin-free" pages.
