FAQ

Q: What's the difference between this package and extra/webkit2gtk?

A: webkitgtk/webkitgtk2 provides WebKit1 API/ABI, which is not compatible with WebKit2 API/ABI provided by extra/webkit2gtk. WebKitGTK+ 2.4.x is the latest branch that provides WebKit1 API. Later branches provides WebKit2 API only.

Please don't flag it as out-of-date.


Q: Are there binaries for this package somewhere?

A: I maintain the latest built package at https://github.com/frealgagu/archlinux.webkitgtk/releases


Q: "error while loading shared libraries: libicui18n.so.62: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

A: You'll need to rebuild against the latest version of ICU.


Q: "error: ‘WTF::StringImpl::StaticASCIILiteraicASCIILiteral’ has not been declared" or any enchant errors.

A: If you are building in parallel, try disabling parallel using -j1 in /etc/makepkg.conf


Q: Why building takes too long time?

A: WebKit is inherently big and complex. You can modify /etc/makepkg.conf or PKGBUILD directly to build it in parallel.

  • Change "make all stamp-po" by "make -j x all stamp-po" in PKGBUILD replacing x by cores your machine has. (Thanks to @MadMe)

  • Change /etc/makepkg.conf in that way: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/makepkg#Parallel_compilation under # ARCHITECTURE, COMPILE FLAGS use MAKEFLAGS="-j9" # It should be one more than your virtual CPUs. (Thanks to @tuxsavvy).

However be pending if errors occur as mentioned in previous question.


Q: How much I want to wait to a successful compilation?

A: It varies of your PC's processor and RAM, the times shared in the comments are as follow:

  • 3.5 hours to build on core i5 laptop with 8G of RAM, makeflags j4. (@cabbage)

  • 13.5 hours to build on AMD Athlon X2, makeflags j1 (@Bonnietwin).

  • 5-6 hours on Core2Duo E8400 with 8GB RAM, makeflags j2 (tuxsavvy).

  • 50 minutes on 6c/12t 3.3GHz (@kubrick).

@Baltazar72 The error is caused by recent ICU update (https://unicode-org.github.io/icu-docs/apidoc/released/icu4c/umachine_8h_source.html#l00143). You may fix line 66 of PKGBUILD as follows to build successfully.

CXXFLAGS+=" -Wno-expansion-to-defined -Wno-class-memaccess -DUPRV_BLOCK_MACRO_BEGIN=\"\" -DUPRV_BLOCK_MACRO_END=\"\""

Hi

I cannot build this :

/home/notorknu/.cache/yay/webkitgtk/src/webkitgtk-2.4.11/Source/WebCore/platform/graphics/SegmentedFontData.cpp: In member function ‘virtual bool WebCore::SegmentedFontData::containsCharacters(const UChar*, int) const’:

Then I "added the ";", and next go It went further., but then it stopped agin on :

Error making: webkitgtk

I tried downgrading gcc to older versions, but I had no luck ..

ANY suggestions would make me happy. Thank You, and Best Regards Torstein

It doesn't compile for me. Does anyone happen to know how to fix this error? :

What do you think about split the packages and create a PKGBUILD for each one?

yan12125 commented on 2018-12-01 01:42 (UTC)

Dropped as I don't need this anymore.

yan12125 commented on 2018-11-10 02:27 (UTC)

You don't need icu62. You NEED to rebuild webkitgtk against icu 63.

philo commented on 2018-11-08 15:12 (UTC)

An AUR package of 'icu62 62.1-1' was released on 2018-11-05.

yan12125 commented on 2018-10-13 00:24 (UTC)

As I mentioned in FAQ, I maintain prebuilt and signed packages at https://cdn.repo.archlinuxcn.org
