Description Fedora Release Engineering 2024-01-29 22:01:40 UTC 
qtwebkit failed to build from source in Fedora rawhide/f40

https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=112406051


For details on the mass rebuild see:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_40_Mass_Rebuild
Please fix qtwebkit at your earliest convenience and set the bug's status to
ASSIGNED when you start fixing it. If the bug remains in NEW state for 8 weeks,
qtwebkit will be orphaned. Before branching of Fedora 41,
qtwebkit will be retired, if it still fails to build.

Comment 4 Kevin Kofler 2024-07-24 00:56:52 UTC 
The attached build.log is useless because it contains only warnings and not the actual error. By doing a tail on the current F41 rebuild attempt, increasing the tail size 100-fold from 4000 to 400000, I was able to locate the actual error:

/builddir/build/BUILD/qtwebkit-2.3.4-build/webkit-qtwebkit-23/Source/WebCore/xml/XSLStyleSheetLibxslt.cpp: In member function ‘bool WebCore::XSLStyleSheet::parseString(const WTF::String&)’:
/builddir/build/BUILD/qtwebkit-2.3.4-build/webkit-qtwebkit-23/Source/WebCore/xml/XSLStyleSheetLibxslt.cpp:151:129: error: invalid conversion from ‘void (*)(void*, xmlError*)’ {aka ‘void (*)(void*, _xmlError*)’} to ‘xmlStructuredErrorFunc’ {aka ‘void (*)(void*, const _xmlError*)’} [-fpermissive]

So this is an incompatible libxslt change. Adapting to that should be relatively easy though.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 42 development cycle.
Changing version to 42.
