Description Michael Gaber 2010-08-30 00:21:03 UTC
swt fails to build xulrunner support with firefox 4 / xulrunner 2 installed.

Reproducible: Always

Perhaps you could supply the additional information requested at the end of that log -- so far you've just got the build log:

If you need support, post the output of 'emerge --info =dev-java/swt-3.6',
the complete build log and the output of 'emerge -pqv =dev-java/swt-3.6'.

Reading bug #293396 comment #25 xulrunner-2 doesnt support Java at all, so we may need to restict versions.

@mozilla please advise.
Comment 6 Michael Gaber 2010-09-01 10:16:03 UTC
another thing i just realized (i dont know if its connected).
eclipse (from the HP) wont run with xulrunner either  as in bug 
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=323913
since swt is part of eclipse this might be interesting, too

You need to restrict, java is gone in xulrunner-2.0 and will not be returning any time soon.

Can we request slotting if it's not already slotted for 2.0?

Yes but swt doesn't require the component of xulrunner that Java enables.

Slotting between 1.9 and 2.0 is not gonna make the job any easier. Most packages will need to patch for pkg-config to check for one version or another if we slot.

After looking at the ebuild, why is webkit not avaliable? This is rather a simple fix add webkit useflag and restrict xulrunner useflag to a 1.9.x version instead of depending on the slot.

swt-3.6 webkit support ...

... and hardwire xulrunner version to '1.9*'

Because I did not do the patch yet?! ;)


Testcase: Vuze shows the ChangeLog at startup after upgrade.
( That does use the code, doesn't it? )

Try this:
https://overlays.gentoo.org/svn/proj/java/testcases/dev-java/swt
Comment 14 Hanno Zysik (geki) 2010-09-19 15:06:54 UTC
That testcase needs this java property set to work:'-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.UseWebKitGTK=true'No idea where to put this.
Comment 15 Michael Gaber 2010-09-19 15:50:33 UTC
according to an eclipse bug i filed this should be put into eclipse.ini

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=323913
Comment 16 Hanno Zysik (geki) 2010-10-02 13:53:12 UTC
Well, that would be for the Eclipse IDE.
The other dependent application is Vuze.

Vuze could write it into its gentoo.config:JAVA_OPTIONS parameter.

Any other application to fix?


Setting the parameter by useflag would be okay I guess?
Comment 17 Vlastimil Babka (Caster) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-11-26 23:50:34 UTC
I tried the webkit support but it crashed horribly here so I gave up and just restricted the xulrunner dep to 1.9. Hope 3.7 works better.
Comment 18 Peter Read 2010-12-29 16:09:21 UTC
Hello - on amd64 and in my overlay I've just commented out the following as seems to have been a pre-3.5 bug workaround;

#               # upstream ships libswt-xulrunner*.so even though the build.sh $
#               # build it anymore... missing this file leads to another instan$
#               # of bug #234934 so we build it too
#               einfo "Building the xulrunner component against xulrunner-1.9"
#
#               export XULRUNNER_INCLUDES="${MOZILLA_INCLUDES}"
#               export XULRUNNER_LIBS="${MOZILLA_LIBS}"
#
#               ${make} make_xulrunner || die "Failed to build xulrunner suppor$
#
#               ${make} make_xpcominit || die "Failed to build xpcominit suppor$

and changed the xulrunner dependancy to the slot.  Seems to build against xulrunner 2 and yet to see an issue myself...  (use Vuze etc...)

How many packages would actually need 1.9 specifically?  Couldn't 2.0 continue using the pkg-config name of "libxul" (so mostly everything would continue to work unchanged) and 1.9 be patched to have a pkg-config name of "libxul-1.9"?  Then only packages like SWT that need 1.9 specifically would need to have their build systems patched w.r.t. pkg-config.

As long as xulrunner 2.0 is in the same slot as xulrunner 1.9, we can't have SWT 3.6.x and Firefox 4 installed at the same time.

You say you have embedded browser working after these changes? (e.g. the "vuze hd network" window has content) as I doubt so. What you did could easily be achieved by disabling xulrunner USE flag for swt in /etc/portage/package.use

Same as above, just disable the USE flag. Vuze will still work, sans some (less useful) features :)

swt-3.6.2.patch

I bumped the 3.6.1 ebuild to 3.6.2 and fixed some errors I spotted in it. The result is that I can sucessfully run the example (see comment 13).

Following things changed:
1.) The bump
2.) Fixed download URI for PPC64
3.) Added webkit support
4.) Added dynamic modifiation of the manifest (requires updated manifest file)

swt-3.6.2-manifest.patch

This is the necessary addition to the manifest file.

I forgot to mention: In runtest.sh one still needs 'gjl_java_args="-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.UseWebKitGTK=true"'
Comment 25 Christoph Brill (egore) (RESIGNED) 2011-04-06 06:44:42 UTC
One sidenote:

I tried backporting this to swt-3.5.2 but unfortunately the 3.5 series does not have webkit support at all.
Comment 26 Dustin C. Hatch 2011-05-22 17:57:45 UTC
I've applied your patch to the swt ebuild in my overlay (dustin). I've also tested it with Eclipse 3.6.2 (also in my overlay). To get Eclipse to use WebKitGTK instead of xulrunner, you need to add the following line to the bottom of /etc/eclipserc-3.6:

VM_ARGS=-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.UseWebKitGTK=true

Now I have a working Eclipse *and* Firefox 4! Thanks for your efforts getting this to work.
Comment 27 Maciej Piechotka 2011-05-28 10:25:27 UTC
The build fails with newer webkit:

Comment 29 Noel Cuillandre 2011-06-13 07:54:06 UTC
using swt from voyageur overlay, i've noticed the failure in comment27 can be fixed by changing::

  WEBKITLIBS = -lwebkit-1.0

to::

  WEBKITLIBS = -lwebkitgtk-1.0

in::

  /var/tmp/portage/dev-java/swt-3.6.2/work/make_linux.mak

webkit-gtk 1.4 patch

after upgrade to webkit-gtk 1.4, WebKitGTK is binary-incompatible between its 1.2 and 1.4 releases, so swt has separate libraries compiled against each.

Apply this patch in src_unpack() {}:

epatch "${FILESDIR}"/swt-3.6.2-webkit.patch

Fixed in 3.7.1 where xulrunner flag is removed altogether. Thanks.
