            Bug ID: 182933
           Summary: GTK][CMake] Support building with Enchant 2.x
           Product: WebKit
           Version: Other
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebCore Misc.
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
          Reporter: aperez at igalia.com

Today I noticed that Arch Linux has stopped shipping Enchant 1.x a
while ago, and that for building WebKitGTK+ the following patch is
applied:

  https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk/enchant-2.diff?h=packages/webkit2gtk

The patch is very simple, and it merely changes “FindEnchant.cmake”
so it checks for “enchant-2” instead of “enchant” using pkg-config.
The usage that WebKitGTK+ makes of Enchant does not seem to rely on
any API changed between the Enchant 1.x series and the 2.x ones, so
it should be safe to check whether any of them is available.

On a chat with Michael Catanzaro he pointed out that Enchant 2.x
will still take time to be adopted by all GNU/Linux distributions,
and in the meanwhile we should try to keep the build working fine
with both 1.x and 2.x — and making WebKitGTK+ buildable out of the
box with the newer releases is the first step.
