Does this mean we couldn't build Webkit-GTK on a 10.4.8 machine? I'm afraid so. But there's a bigger problem: I had to patch Webkit-Gtk to get it to compile and submitted the patch. It's a matter of conflating Gtk and X11. (It's at https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28727) The response was to patch more extensively to ensure that Webkit-Gtk won't build without X11, and when I reopened the bug, the maintainer commented that Webkit-Gtk doesn't support the Quartz backend. As long as Gnucash will build against 1.1.12 we're fine, but if we have to move to a newer version, more extensive patching will be needed.

Did they give a reason for making that restriction? *sigh* Do you want me to get involved with this issue? It seems pretty bad that you supply a patch to get it webkit-gtk working with Gtk-Quartz and they make it not-work! > Regards, > John Ralls -derek -- Derek Atkins, SB '93 MIT EE, SM '95 MIT Media Laboratory Member, MIT Student Information Processing Board (SIPB) URL: http://web.mit.edu/warlord/PP-ASEL-IA N1NWH warl...@mit.eduPGP key available ___ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel

It seems pretty bad that you supply a patch to get it webkit-gtk working with Gtk-Quartz and they make it not-work! It seems dumb to me, too. As you may have noted, the ticket remains open but apparently ignored. I haven't pursued it on the Webkit-gtk list yet. The open hostility is unusual. More common is simple neglect. Most of the dev teams are Linux-focussed and not terribly interested in cross- platform compatibility. They'll accept patches, but won't do anything themselves to ensure compatibility. In the Linux world, the distro teams do all sorts of compatibility patches (as do Fink and MacPorts maintainers, as David Reiser pointed out.) The Gtk+ team can't even be bothered to commit patches since Richard Hult withdrew. As for you "getting involved", to do what? Adding another lonely voice on the dev lists (in your copious spare time ;-) ) won't hurt, but it seems unlikely to make much difference.

Does this mean we couldn't build Webkit-GTK on a 10.4.8 machine? Regards, John Ralls -derek webkit-gtk 1.1.10 does work with osx 10.4 and 10.5. There are a bunch of tweaks that fink uses to get around various issues (package name: webkit-1.0.2, version 1.1.10). There are a bunch of issues with the webkit-gtk JIT compiler in versions 1.1.10 - 1.1.14 which prevent building recent webkit-gtk versions on osx 10.6. Curiously, a prerelease snapshot of 1.0.1 works for me on 10.6, so that's what I'm using at the moment.
