Instructions for building Gtk2-WebKit

View current build results

Easiest probably using cpan2rpm, so install it:

Fedora users:

su -c 'yum install cpan2rpm rpmdevtools'

openSuSe

su -c 'zypper in cpan2rpm rpmdevtools'

Setup your rpmdev environment

rpmdev-setuptree

Then you're ready to go, so run:

cpan2rpm –spec-only Gtk2-WebKit

This will generat a spec file in ~/rpmbuild/SPECS.

You'll need to edit it and change the line

%define maketest 1

to

%define maketest 0

or you'll get some errors.

Then, to build the package, run:

QA_RPATHS=$[ 0x0001|0x0010 ] rpmbuild -ba $HOME/rpmbuild/SPECS/Gtk2-WebKit.spec

(adjust the path accordingly if your spec file is somewhere else.)

Go here if you wish to browse through the source

Download src 0.04 in .tar.gz package

You may either build the package remotely or local, whichever way you prefer. I recommend the debhelper scripts for automagic:

Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 7), perl (>= 5.8.0)

These are the dependencies which were added through $shlibs:Depends and $misc:Depends during build:

Depends: perl (>= 5.8.0), libatk1.0-0 (>= 1.20.0), libc6 (>= 2.2.5), libcairo2 (>= 1.2.4), libfontconfig1 (>= 2.4.0), libfreetype6 (>= 2.2.1), libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.16.0), libgtk2.0-0 (>= 2.16.0), libpango1.0-0 (>= 1.14.0), libsoup2.4-1 (>= 2.25.4), libwebkit-1.0-2 (>= 1.1.1), zlib1g (>= 1:1.1.4), libgtk2-perl

If you want to build it locally without using the cpan, download the source package extract it /some/where, change into the directory and simply build using dh-make-perl.

dh-make-perl --help

wget http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/F/FL/FLORA/Gtk2-WebKit-0.04.tar.gz
tar xf Gtk2-WebKit-0.04.tar.gz
cd Gtk2-WebKit-0.04
dh-make-perl --build

The package will be created with $USER as maintainer and <$USER@ > as email adress, so, if its not in your $ENV, you may want to use

--email [email protected]   

together with dh-perl-make (i.e. for signing the pkg with your pub key.) Thats about it, the package creation should leave a package in your upstream directory. In order to install

cd ..
dpkg -i  libgtk2-webkit-perl_*.deb

in the upstream directory. So if you downloaded the .tar.gz to your home directory, thats where it goes. Now install it using your favorite packagemanager, relaunch gmusicbrowser, and enjoy webkit :)

mkdir build-tmp
cd build-tmp
dh-make-perl --build --cpan Gtk2-WebKit
