Bug 435561

Hmm. The pkgconfig files reference the include directory as "WebKit" so I'll
have to patch those headers a bit. I'll get to this after some food. :)

Thanks for the bug report!

I believe this is fixed with tomorrow's Rawhide (1.0.0-0.6.svn30667.fc9). Please
re-open this bug with further details if the issue persists. Thanks.

On Gentoo they are using svn 30468 of WebKit and the package is build using the
plain old ./configure method (no qmake) without any additional scripting (only
the GTK part is build).

The resulting files from this build differ from what's now in Fedora. First of
all, the pkgconfig file, /usr/lib/pkgconfig/WebKitGtk.pc doesn't exist, but a
new file, named /usr/lib/pkgconfig/webkit-1.0.pc is.

The contents of this file are :

--

prefix=/usr
exec_prefix=${prefix}
libdir=${exec_prefix}/lib
includedir=${prefix}/include

Name: WebKit
Description: Web content engine for GTK+ applications
Version: 0.1
Requires: gtk+-2.0
Libs: -L${libdir} -lWebKitGtk
Cflags: -I${includedir}/WebKit

--

Also, The webkit*.h headers from the WebKit-gtk package are all placed in
/usr/include/WebKit/webkit, not in /usr/include/webkit :

$ls /usr/include/WebKit/webkit/
webkitdefines.h
webkit.h
webkitnetworkrequest.h
webkitwebbackforwardlist.h
webkitwebframe.h
webkitwebhistoryitem.h
webkitwebsettings.h
webkitwebview.h

This makes it difficult for developers which want to use WebKit to develop
software as there are differences between the distro's.

Maybe it would be better if you could ask upstream which direction they want to
go with the naming and placement of the pkgconfig file and the headers, so all
the distro's can adapt to the same layout.

In Fedora's build, both the Qt *and* GTK+ ports are built, so this qmake
invoking is necessary.

This file rename is due to the use of autotools instead of qmake. Thus, since
Gentoo uses autotools (and builds only the GTK+ port), the pkgconfig file is
changed.

The include directory should not matter. Anything that needs to build against it
should be calling pkg-config to find the headers location; and so long as the
pkgconfig data is correct, the build should succeed...in theory.

I have based my WebKit packaging on that of Debian/Ubuntu (which build both
ports, versus Gentoo's GTK-only build), so I believe it to be sufficiently
consistent in terms of cross-distro compatibility.

However, if this does pose a problem in the future, please let me know and I
will attempt to work with the upstream devs so that it can be resolved
appropriately. Thanks.
