Bug 523004 – net-libs/webkit-gtk:3 fails to compile on MIPS and PowerPC

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED TEST-REQUEST

[Description Vicente Olivert Riera (RETIRED) 2014-09-17 09:49:18 UTC]

I have seen the same failure on PowerPC, so I have CC'ed the ppc arch team. If I'm wrong, please edit the bug summary and remove the ppc arch team from CC.

PowerPC bug report: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=130837

Note: I can't attach the full build log because it's 64MB. Here is the relevant part:

Regarding PPC compilation issue, it was compiling after:
  27 Jul 2014; Pacho Ramos <[e-mail]>
  +files/webkit-gtk-2.4.4-atomic-ppc.patch, webkit-gtk-2.4.4.ebuild:
  Fix building on ppc (from OpenBSD, only needed on slot 3), bug #518288 by ago


Did you ensure you are using updated ebuild? (package wasn't revbumped for this)

Regarding mips... how many consumers of webkitgtk are keyworded on mips? (were they really working or only building?) I say this because upstream don't care much about anything different than x86/amd64, we try to keep support for other arches but it's more and more difficult (usually we rely on debian or openbsd people to fix them to at least make it buildable :S).

Maybe would be better to drop mips keywords for anything webkit-gtk related, but I am not sure how many packages are keyworded for that arch :/

Also, for mips bug #523840 was opened with patches

Yes, I used the updated ebuild.

The midori web browser, for instance. It really works using webkit-gtk:2 and I could try it with webkit-gtk:3 because of this failure.

No, please, don't do that.

I will try those patches. Thanks.

[Comment 4 Pacho Ramos 2014-10-07 17:22:54 UTC]

Please try with 2.4.6 for ppc problem (its changelog says it contains fixes for that arches). For mips, better go to the other bug report 

Thanks
