           Summary: GtkLauncher fails to build: Undefined references to
                    openFile, readFromFile, and seekFile
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit Gtk

Hi,

In trying to build WebKitGtk on generic Linux (a Gentoo Linux installation) on x86_64, linking GtkLauncher fails with these three errors in particular:

./.libs/libwebkit-1.0.so: undefined reference to `WebCore::openFile(WebCore::String const&, WebCore::FileOpenMode)'
./.libs/libwebkit-1.0.so: undefined reference to `WebCore::readFromFile(int, char*, int)'
./.libs/libwebkit-1.0.so: undefined reference to `WebCore::seekFile(int, long long, WebCore::FileSeekOrigin)'

(Other linking errors are dealt with in Bug 40326.)

These file access problems seem to be related to WebCore/platform/gtk/FileSystemGtk.cpp.  These three methods aren't defined in this file as they are in, e.g., WebCore/platform/posix/FileSystemPOSIX.cpp.  Of course, when I tried including the posix module in the build, there were namespace collisions.  It seems the fix may be to add these missing methods to WebCore/platform/gtk/FileSystemGtk.cpp.

I'm not sure how to go about coding the fix for this problem.  I just hope some of the Gtk devs. read this report and can add these required methods.  Thanks.

Clemmitt
