           Summary: [GTK] Split libWebCore into two libWebCore and
                    libWebCoreGtk
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: Gtk
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit2
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: cgarcia at igalia.com


The motivation is to build the plugin process with gtk2 even when --with-gtk=3.0 has been passed to configure. The idea is the following:

 - libWebCore contains all the webcore files except the ones actually using gtk (there are some files in gtk dirs that don't use gtk at all)
 - libWebCoreGtk contains only the files using gtk
 - Both libs are built always using the gtk passed to the configure script
 - webkit1, webkit2 and webprocess link directly to both libraries
 - pluginprocess will link to libWebCore, and only when gtk2 has been passed to configure, it will also link to libWebCoreGtk. When building with gtk3, plugin process will use libWebCoreGtk sources as part of its sources, so that they will be built again using gtk2.

This will allow us to use the flash plugin when building webkit with gtk3.
