Re: [gtk-osx-users] Building WebKit with GTK3.

[Pascal <p p14 orange fr>]

Hello John,

After getting webkitgtk 2.4.5 and configuring with "./configure --prefix /Users/blady/gtk/inst 
--enable-quartz-target”, I’ve got the following error:

configure: error: Compiler GCC >= 4.7 or Clang >= 3.3 is required for C compilation

So I modify configure in order it will accept clang major version >= 4 with no minor version.

Then I’ve another configuring error:

checking webp/decode.h usability... no
checking webp/decode.h presence... no
checking for webp/decode.h... no
configure: error: WebP library (libwebp) not found

I fear that it takes me away too far in dependancies.
Well at present, webkitgtk component is not essential for me, so I go on other components testing.

Regards, Pascal.
