           Summary: [GTK] Fails to build if configure is run with its
                    absolute path
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Unspecified
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit Gtk
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: berto at igalia.com


There's a couple of links from the build dir to the webkit 2 headers
in the source dir that are created like this:

   ln -s -f ${shell pwd}/$(WebKit2)/UIProcess/API/gtk $@
   ln -s -f ${shell pwd}/$(WebKit2)/WebProcess/InjectedBundle/API/gtk $@

Problem is, that works if $(WebKit2) is a relative path, e.g if we
create the build dir inside the webkit source tree and run ../configure:

   ln -s -f /tmp/webkit/build/../Source/WebKit2/WebProcess/InjectedBundle/API/gtk DerivedSources/WebKit2/webkit2extension/include/webkit2
   ln -s -f /tmp/webkit/build/../Source/WebKit2/UIProcess/API/gtk DerivedSources/WebKit2/webkit2gtk/include/webkit2

However if we use an absolute path (/tmp/webkit/configure in this
example) we get a broken link:

   ln -s -f /tmp/webkit/build//tmp/webkit/Source/WebKit2/WebProcess/InjectedBundle/API/gtk DerivedSources/WebKit2/webkit2extension/include/webkit2
   ln -s -f /tmp/webkit/build//tmp/webkit/Source/WebKit2/UIProcess/API/gtk DerivedSources/WebKit2/webkit2gtk/include/webkit2

A quick fix is to replace the makefile recipe with something like this:

   ln -s -f ${shell cd $(WebKit2)/UIProcess/API/gtk && pwd} $@
   ln -s -f ${shell cd $(WebKit2)/WebProcess/InjectedBundle/API/gtk && pwd} $@
