Re: [gnome-love] Cannot jhbuild the webkit

William,

if your only goal is to build libgdata, I think there's a much simpler way.  I think all the libraries libgdata needs are already present in Ubuntu 12.10.  So you shouldn't even need to use jhbuild.  I think you could simply do this:

$ sudo apt-get build-dep libgdata

$ git clone git://git.gnome.org/libgdata
$ cd libgdata

$ ./autogen.sh

$ make

$ sudo make install

It might be that easy.  Want to try that?

Hi:

After trying that, I got this error:

checking for GTK... yes

checking for WEBKIT_GTK... no

configure: error: Package requirements (webkitgtk-3.0 >= 2.1.90) were not met:

Requested 'webkitgtk-3.0 >= 2.1.90' but version of WebKit is 1.10.0

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you

installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables WEBKIT_GTK_CFLAGS

and WEBKIT_GTK_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.

See the pkg-config man page for more details.

It is exactly the same as what I got before. And the skip list I use is here:

skip = [ 'mozilla', 'dbus', 'pulseaudio', 'upower', 'gudev', 'NetworkManager', 'libproxy', 'libxml2', 'gtk+-2', 'sqlite3', 'nspr', 'nss', 'libmusicbrainz', 'libdiscid', 'gmime', 'gnome-disk-utility', 'gypsy', 'WebKit' ]

Do you know where I am wrong?

You can try adding:

ignore_suggests = True

to your .jhbuildrc. That will build only the modules strictly required.
Maybe one of the suggested modules was asking for webkit in your case.

At last but not least, it is a good practice to reply to the mailing
list. So everybody can learn or add new information.
