When version app-office/gnucash-3.3 was marked stable it failed to build on my machine because of missing symbols in webkit-gtk. After poking around a little I realized that the missing functions had been disabled in webkit-gtk because I was building it without the `opengl` flag (which is on by default). After turning the flag back on I could install gnucash w/o further issues. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install webkit-gtk with the opengl USE flag disabled: env USE="-opengl" emerge =net-libs/webkit-gtk-2.22.2 2. Try installing app-office/gnucash-3.3 with default USE flags: emerge =app-office/gnucash-3.3 Actual Results: Compilation fails at link time because of missing symbols in webkit-gtk Expected Results: emerge prompts the user to add the opengl USE flag to the webkit-gtk package in order to build gnucash
Please share actual logs of the build failure. Before rushing to add a webkit-gtk[opengl] dep, please remember that webkit-gtk[gles2] exists as well.

Out of curiosity I rebuilt webkit-gtk with USE="-opengl gles2" and then gnucash and it builds fine. So it fails only if both the "opengl" and "gles" flag are disabled in webkit-gtk.
It doesn't feel related to gnucash at all. Do you get failures of other webkit-gtk consumers when both these GL flags are disabled on the installed webkit-gtk?

I'll attach the log.

I'm afraid I will need to add a REQUIRED_USE requirement to enable either opengl or gles2 until this is looked at upstream. Please note that non-GL builds are there from upstream ONLY for things like embedded use cases on a proprietary graphics stack that runs without mesa (for EGL) and such. It is a very very bad idea to disable GL for webkit-gtk on a desktop install, and that's why we also default enable opengl in the ebuild. You don't lose just WebGL, but various performance optimizations and improvements in webkit itself too; like in this example async scrolling (once it's made to get disabled without GL for linking to not fail like this).
