           Summary: [chromium] Makefile has overlapping targets in Debug
                    and Release
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Tools / Tests
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: tony at chromium.org


Both the Debug and Release builds try to write .o and .a files to
WebKit/chromium/out/WebCore/* .  Trying to switch between the two can cause
problems for the linker.

The Makefile generated by gyp assumes that it is at the root of the build tree.
 We generate the Makefile in WebKit/chromium/, but build files in WebCore, so
this causes targets like this:
OBJS := $(obj).target/$(TARGET)/../../WebCore/accessibility/AXObjectCache.o \
  $(obj).target/$(TARGET)/../../WebCore/accessibility/AccessibilityARIAGrid.o \
 
$(obj).target/$(TARGET)/../../WebCore/accessibility/AccessibilityARIAGridCell.o
\

The fix would be to try to generate something like Makefile.chromium in the
root of the checkout so all the paths would be below the Makefile.
