User Notes: If you have pkg-config 0.23 or older installed fix a bug in the configure script that will stop it detecting Gstreamer correctly: sed -i 's#=GST#=$GST#' configure If you have not installed , fix a bug that will cause make install to fail: sed -i '/generate-gtkdoc --rebase/s:^:# :' GNUmakefile.in WebKit takes a long time to compile, so if you have a multicore CPU it can be useful to speed up the build by running make with multiple jobs. If you want to run make with just one core, install WebKit by running the following commands: ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-introspection && make If you have a multicore CPU and want to run make with multiple jobs running in parallel, install WebKit with the following commands: ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-introspection && error_count=0 until make -j$(getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN) do if (( $((error_count++)) > 4 )) then echo Too Many Errors break fi done unset error_count This package does not have a working testsuite. Now, as the root user: make install --enable-introspection: This option enables support for Gobject-Introspection and is required for a GNOME desktop. If you don't have Gobject-Introspection installed and don't want to install GNOME remove this option. error_count=0; until make ...: Sadly there are race conditions in the makefiles that will cause the build to fail if you run make with multiple jobs. This simple hack works around that problem by using until to keep running make until it succeeds. The variable error_count is incremented each time an error occurs and is checked to ensure that no more than 5 errors occur. This is so that if an error occurs that is not due to a race condition then it will not keep repeating make forever. $(getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN) prints the number of cores your computer seems to have. If you would prefer, you can use any positive integer such as 4. --with-gtk=2.0: This option forces Webkit to compile against Gtk+-2, even if Gtk+-3 is also installed. With Gtk+-2, everything Webkit installs is suffixed with 1.0. When it is compiled against Gtk+-3 everything it installs is suffixed with 3.0. Both versions can be installed alongside one another with no namespace conflicts. Installed Program Installed Library Installed Directories jsc-1 or jsc-3 (depending on whether you installed the Gtk+-2 or Gtk+-3 version of WebKit). libwebkit-1.0.so and libjavascriptcoregtk-1.0.so or libwebkit-3.0.so and libjavascriptcoregtk-3.0.so (depending on whether you installed the Gtk+-2 or Gtk+-3 version of WebKit). /usr/include/webkit-1.0 and /usr/share/webkit-1.0 or /usr/include/webkit-3.0 and /usr/share/webkit-3.0 (depending on whether you installed the Gtk+-2 or Gtk+-3 version of WebKit). Short Descriptions jsc-1 or jsc-3 is a command-line utility that allows you to run JavaScript programs outside of the context of a web browser. jsc libwebkit-1.0.so contains the WebKit API functions for gtk+-2. libwebkit-1.0.so libwebkit-3.0.so contains the WebKit API functions for gtk+-3. libwebkit-3.0.so libjavascriptcoregtk-1.0.so contains functions that are used by jsc-1. libjavascriptcoregtk-1.0.so libjavascriptcoregtk-3.0.so contains functions that are used by jsc-3. libjavascriptcoregtk-3.0.so
