It looks like webkitgtk won't build for me anymore after the version got
bumped to 2.34.1.

The error happens during configuration, with relevant logging
===============================
-- Could NOT find LibSoup: Found unsuitable version "", but required is at
least "2.99.9" (found LIBSOUP_INCLUDE_DIRS-NOTFOUND)
CMake Error at Source/cmake/OptionsGTK.cmake:212 (message):
  libsoup 3 is required.  Enable USE_SOUP2 to use libsoup 2 (disables
HTTP/2)
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  Source/cmake/WebKitCommon.cmake:220 (include)
  CMakeLists.txt:20 (include)
===============================

If instead I time-machine to the previous commit
==============
guix time-machine --commit=80c0505f166101bbe6d55b8f2314d1a18227b3ee --
install webkitgtk
==============
it all builds fine.

I think the issue is that with version 2.33 webkitgtk started building with
libsoup3 by default. Since the last version in guix was 2.32.1 this would
explain why this bump started causing issues. The package the libsoup guix
pulls in (version 2) no longer satisfies the requirement and we can't
build. Potential fixes are setting USE_SOUP2 or building with libsoup3
instead.

Re: bug#51564: [PATCH] gnu: webkitgtk: Fix configure failures.

FYI, I pushed commit 9d3a5ddc2700aa099bb1bf9c5e8b3062445b907a to

'master', which fixes the webkitgtk-2.34.1 build on x86_64-linux. In

addition to the fixes already shown in Liliana's proposed patch,

9d3a5ddc27 also arranges to use clang-11 for compilation.

Unfortunately, the build fails on i686-linux, which is the only system

other than x86_64-linux where webkitgtk-2.32.4 was successfully built.

Note that I tried clang-11 first, because upstream WebKit surely uses

clang for compilation, and it works for building IceCat on Guix, so I

had it hunch that it was a good bet. However, it would be good to now

try compiling webkitgtk-2.34.1 with a newer version of GCC. It's

possible that might fix the build on i686-linux.

Anyway, I'm closing this bug. I'll open another bug to track the

i686-linux issue.

Thanks,

Mark

I'm currently building webkitgtk on x86_64 locally with GCC 11. If

that succeeds, I'll push to master and have CI take it from there.

Sounds good. Thank you, Liliana!

For the record, it's commit 63f78f6a6ea0d33f3b1fa68c7285cfb865677211 on

the 'master' branch, and it did indeed fix the build on i686-linux.

Thanks again,

I spoke too soon.

Although the WebKitGTK package itself built successfully using GCC 11,

the switch to GCC 11 caused many failures in programs that use

WebKitGTK. For example:

https://ci.guix.gnu.org/build/1530462/details(epiphany)

https://ci.guix.gnu.org/build/1530484/details(gnome-online-accounts)

https://ci.guix.gnu.org/build/1530479/details(yelp)

https://ci.guix.gnu.org/build/1530407/details(surf)

https://ci.guix.gnu.org/build/1530465/details(zenity)

See below for an illustrative excerpt from the failed epiphany log.

I've pushed commit 1007eb4874b7d3d2e0ecda07157f5794a0591ea2 to 'master',

which reverts commit 63f78f6a6e.

I've also reopened https://bugs.gnu.org/51591, to track progress on

fixing the webkitgtk build on i686 using clang-11. I have a couple of

ideas of how to fix it. To be continued...

SGTM. Can someone check whether it builds fine with GCC 10 on c-u-

frozen?

I'm reluctant to do that, because it would mean reintroducing
CVE-2021-30846, CVE-2021-30851 and CVE-2021-42762.  According to
https://www.webkitgtk.org/security/WSA-2021-0006.html, two of those
CVEs could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code via maliciously
crafted web content.

For now, I've reverted back to using clang-11 to compile WebKitGTK,
which works correctly on x86_64-linux, but another fix will be needed to
i686-linux users.  I have some ideas on how to fix it.  I'll write about
that soon at 51591@debbugs.gnu.org.

      Regards,
        Mark
