Comment 2 Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2010-03-09 20:52:20 UTC
Can you try with latest webkit-gtk version from gnome-overlay? icu-4.4* isn't even keyworded and probably newer webkit-gtk version will work better with as recent icu versions

Good luck!

Patch to fix compile with icu4
Comment 8 Andreas Arens 2010-03-20 00:33:55 UTC
compiles fine with patch, found on freebsd ports. Minimal testing with epiphany done.

found here:
http://old.nabble.com/ports-143718:--PATCH--ports-www-webkit-gtk2-(build-failure-with-icu-4.3.3-(error-in-TextBreakIteratorICU.cpp))-td27526895.html
Comment 9 Doktor Notor 2010-03-20 09:45:19 UTC
The patch WFM as well... thanks!

On a side note, when touching the package, could you mute the crapload of QA warnings by append-flags -fno-strict-aliasing please? :)
Comment 10 Priit Laes (IRC: plaes) 2010-03-20 10:28:44 UTC
webkit-1.1.90 has been fixed in gnome-overlay.

Those warnings are there with a reason...
Comment 11 Doktor Notor 2010-03-20 10:37:49 UTC
(In reply to comment #10)
> Those warnings are there with a reason...

Those warnings are there so that the upstream developer would notice them and fix them. -fno-strict-aliasing disables -fstrict-aliasing and muting the noise is merely a side-effect (cf. man gcc).

no it's not. The apply the icu-4.4 patch unconditionally, even if icu-4.2.1 is installed. icu-4.4 should be a dep there. or a has_version icu-4.4 condition for the patch.

If you are referring to bug 310323, then he is compiling against icu-4.4 there... Just check the error messages.

You can check U_ICU_VERSION_MAJOR_NUM and U_ICU_VERSION_MINOR_NUM, which are defined in unicode/uvernum.h:

#if U_ICU_VERSION_MAJOR_NUM >= 5 || (U_ICU_VERSION_MAJOR_NUM == 4 && U_ICU_VERSION_MINOR_NUM >= 4)
	typedef struct UBreakIterator TextBreakIterator;
#else
	class TextBreakIterator;
#endif

Doesn't this cause a runtime incompatibility when compile with one version of icu and run with another?
If so I'd vote for an RDEPEND bump at least for the overlay version.

The icu sonames changed, so you'll have to run "revdep-rebuild" with portage 2.1 or emerge @preserved-rebuild with portage 2.2 in any case. The source code incompatibility shouldn't make this any worse than it already is.

Also works with the old icu-4.2, as you might expect with the ifdefs.

The -r1 ebuild from gnome-overlay w/ this webkit-icu-compat-portage.patch instead of their webkit-gtk-icu4.patch (as in my overlay http://svn.xmw.de/gentoo-overlay/net-libs/webkit-gtk/ ) works on my machines with icu-4.2.1.

Hopefully, someone of the gnome overlay maintainers reads this ...

It's a 11min emerge on my quad core and a build fail really sucks. 

Btw. there is no need for icu-4.4 from this package, isn't it? It only states >icu-3.8....

Bye

Backport of r56345 for webkit-gtk-1.1.15.4

(In reply to comment #30)
> This was committed upstream (but I haven't had a chance to test it against
> 1.1.15.4)

Unfortunately, it cannot be applied to 1.1.15.4.

Attached is my backport of the webkit trunk patch to webkit-gtk-1.1.15.4 (TextBreakIteratorICU.cpp in 1.1.15.4 is somewhat different from the trunk, and TextBoundariesICU.cpp in 1.1.15.4 does not exist in the trunk).

The backported patch applies and webkit-gtk-1.1.15.4 compiles; tested with epiphany-2.28.2, everything seems to work OK.
