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Please don't flag it as out-of-date.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

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

Dropped as I don't need this anymore.

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.

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

PhotonX commented on 2018-10-12 17:36 (UTC)

Sorry for the late reply and excuse my ignorance in case I am missing something obvious, but which signatures do you refer to? AUR packages are not signed, are they?

yan12125 commented on 2018-10-10 12:21 (UTC)

Primarily because people might get signature mismatch errors if you change a package without bumping pkgver/pkgrel.

PhotonX commented on 2018-10-10 09:41 (UTC)

Hmm, why not? :) You can add "-f" to the makepkg call or is the problem somewhere else?

yan12125 commented on 2018-10-10 08:24 (UTC)

Sorry for frequent version bumps recently. My build scripts do not build a package again without changing pkgver/pkgrel.

PhotonX commented on 2018-10-10 06:52 (UTC)

Would it be possible to make silent updates when fixing building problems, such that users who already have the package installed aren't forced to recompile it during the update?
