LinuxQuestions.org - [SOLVED] trying to build a package for webkitgtk-2.16.1

trying to build a package for webkitgtk-2.16.1

I'm trying to build a package for webkitgtk-2.16.1
There is no configure file (cmake is used).
I can't find any documentation about the options available and where the installed files go to.

After some trials and errors I was able to built it successfully by running this

Code:

mkdir -p build || exit 1

cd build



cmake -DPORT=GTK -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_SKIP_RPATH=ON \

 -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DLIB_INSTALL_DIR=/usr/lib$LIBDIRSUFFIX \

 -DLIBEXEC_INSTALL_DIR=/usr/lib$LIBDIRSUFFIX/webkit2gtk-4.0 \

 -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS="$SLKCFLAGS" -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="$SLKCFLAGS" \

 -DENABLE_MINIBROWSER=ON \

 -DUSE_LIBHYPHEN=OFF -DENABLE_GEOLOCATION=OFF .. || exit 1



make -j$(nproc) || make || exit 1

There's no DESTDIR in Makefile

I figured that these directories are going to be used for the installation if I want to manually copy the files:

Code:

mkdir -p $PKG/usr/bin

mkdir -p $PKG/usr/lib$LIBDIRSUFFIX/webkit2gtk-4.0

mkdir -p $PKG/usr/lib$LIBDIRSUFFIX/pkgconfig

mkdir -p $PKG/usr/libexec/webkit2gtk-4.0

mkdir -p $PKG/usr/include/webkitgtk-4.0

mkdir -p $PKG/usr/share/gtk-doc/html/webkit{2,dom}gtk-4.0

I'm tempted to copy bin/* to $PKG/usr/bin, lib/* to $PKG/usr/lib$LIBDIRSUFFIX/webkit2gtk-4.0,
the *.pc files to the pkgconfig directory ...

I tried to change the INSTALLATION DESTINATION PATH in the different cmake_install.cmake (with a seder) but when I run

Code:

make install

this starts building the objects again ...

have you tried using the SlackBuild from SBo?

https://gitlab.com/SlackBuilds.org/s...ies/webkit2gtk

I point you at the gitlab mirror of the SBo repository because ATM the server is not reachable probably for a network issue upstream (as you might guess with traceroute).

I just looked at the SlackBuild:

Code:

make install DESTDIR=$PKG

But there's no DESTDIR in the Makefile
I'm afraid this will try to install at the root filesystem

$PKG is a variable defined in the SlackBuild. If you look up in the SlackBuild you can see that it points to:

Code:

PKG=$TMP/package-$PRGNAM

which breaks down to /tmp/SBo/package-webkit2gtk

Edit: Ooops, I forgot to mention like ponce does below, that DESTDIR is recognized by cmake already.

you don't have to be.
if you look at the Makefile in the build directory (generated by running cmake), it calls several other Makefile in the subdirectories of ./build: those, for the "install" target call theirself the relative cmake_install.cmake files that contain references to DESTDIR.

Code:

/tmp/SBo/webkitgtk-2.16.1/build# find . -name cmake_install.cmake -exec grep DESTDIR {} \;

  if(EXISTS "$ENV{DESTDIR}/usr/lib64/webkit2gtk-4.0/WebKitPluginProcess2" AND

Thank you for pointing out this to me.
By the way

Code:

make

make install DESTDIR=$PKG

is a waste of time.

Code:

make install DESTDIR=$PKG

is enough (it will (re)build even if you 'make'd before)

Thanks again
Now, where's this solved button again?
