           Summary: Webkit GTK 2.2.3 build fails if configured with
                    --prefix command
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit Gtk
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: nhrdls at gmail.com


I want to install the build at $HOME/webkitbuild, so I ran configure as follows from the exploded tar ball directory.

./configure --prefix=$FP_BUILD_ROOT --enable-gtk-doc=no --enable-gtk-doc-html=no  --enable-gtk-doc-pdf=no  --enable-webkit1=no --enable-credential-storage=no --enable-debug-symbols=full

Configure command runs successfully. When running make command it fails with error

Make command says Source/autotools/FindDependencies.m4:95: warning: macro 'AM_PATH_GLIB_2_0' not found in library.

When configure is executed without --prefix parameter, everything is successful, but it wants to install where I need root permissions.

I have built other 2.2.3 dependencies with --prefix flags e.g. gtk+-3.6.4 and gstreamer-1.0.3. And it has worked correctly for those builds. It only fails for webkit-2.2.3 build.

A quick inspection reveals that it fails when make command tries to execute another configure command. Current workaround is to run configure without --prefix parameter, build once and then run configure again with --prefix parameter and then run make install.
