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Please don't flag it as out-of-date.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

I have tried to recompile with the latest libenchant library and I got a new compile error that I didn't have previously. Any idea why I'm getting this:

Announcement: If you got enchant errors, check the first two entries in my pinned FAQ comment.

Why is the library file of the previous version only a couple MB in size then? It looks like this one builds a static library or includes a lot of other files into the library. Looks wrong to me.

Batou commented on 2018-01-02 02:58 (UTC)

@yan12125 thanks! For those wondering, I fixed it by just exporting a new PATH without /bin in it and then just running the pacaur. The other suggestion (editing PKGBUILD and setting PYTHONPATH didn't do anything for me).

@germanfr it's a huge project. Whatever package is using this as a dep, maybe you should talk to them about providing a pre-built alternative.

"That's not ok."? It's webkit, what the hell do you expect?

germanfr commented on 2017-12-30 08:30 (UTC)

It took me 7h to build this package as an update. That's not ok.

@Batou: Check out @zoidby's comment

Fails to build.

@kmeagher: You need to install the base-devel group before building any package. Check out https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Getting_started.

kmeagher commented on 2017-12-26 05:47 (UTC)

this package requires flex to build but it is not listed as a dependency
