Building the Qt port on Linux
These instructions apply to Ubuntu Linux 6.10 (Edgy Eft). T
Dependencies
The code should be easily built on any Linux distribution which has development packages for Qt installed.
The Qt port requires Qt version 4, and 4.2 is recommended. To install required dependencies on Ubuntu edgy, do
sudo aptitude install libqt4-dev
or install the libqt4-dev package from Synaptic.
You might also need to install gperf, libxslt1-dev, and bison to resolve some dependencies.
sudo aptitude install gperf libxslt-dev bison
You'll then need to check out the source code from Subversion. The Qt port is part of the WebKit source tree, so you don't need anything extra.
Finally, build WebKit and the Qt test browser with
QTDIR=/usr/share/qt4/ WebKit/WebKitTools/Scripts/build-webkit
Testing the port
A very simple test browser is built at WebKit/WebKitBuild/Release/WebKitQt/QtLauncher/QtLauncher.
Common Build Errors
Missing gperf
../../../WebCore/html/HTMLDocument.cpp: In member function 'virtual void WebCore::HTMLDocument::determineParseMode(const WebCore::String&)': ../../../WebCore/html/HTMLDocument.cpp:389: error: expected initializer before '*' token ../../../WebCore/html/HTMLDocument.cpp:390: error: 'doctypeEntry' was not declared in this scope ../../../WebCore/html/HTMLDocument.cpp:398: error: 'doctypeEntry' was not declared in this scope ../../../WebCore/html/HTMLDocument.cpp:401: error: 'PubIDInfo' has not been declared ../../../WebCore/html/HTMLDocument.cpp:405: error: 'PubIDInfo' has not been declared
This error is typically caused by not having gperf
installed. Install gperf
, run touch WebCore/html/DocTypeStrings.gperf
and try building WebKit again.
Missing SQLite development package
../../../WebCore/loader/icon/SQLDatabase.cpp:30:21: error: sqlite3.h: No such file or directory ../../../WebCore/loader/icon/SQLDatabase.cpp:36: error: "SQLITE_ERROR" was not declared in this scope ../../../WebCore/loader/icon/SQLDatabase.cpp:37: error: "SQLITE_DONE" was not declared in this scope ../../../WebCore/loader/icon/SQLDatabase.cpp:38: error: "SQLITE_OK" was not declared in this scope ../../../WebCore/loader/icon/SQLDatabase.cpp:39: error: "SQLITE_ROW" was not declared in this scope
This error is typically caused by not having the development component of libsqlite3
installed. Install the development package and try building WebKit again.
Missing flex
.../WebKitBuild/Release/lib/libWebKitQt.so: undefined reference to `WebCore::CSSParser::lex()'
This error is typically caused by not having flex
installed. Install flex
, run touch WebCore/css/tokenizer.flex
and try building WebKit again.
Incompatible version of bison
bison -d -p kjsyy JavaScriptCore/kjs/grammar.y -o grammar.tab.c && mv grammar.tab.c tmp/grammar.cpp && mv grammar.tab.h tmp/grammar.h JavaScriptCore/kjs/grammar.y:364.3-366.9: type clash (`node' `') on default action JavaScriptCore/kjs/grammar.y:366.10: parse error, unexpected ":", expecting ";" or "|"
This error is caused by having an incompatible version of bison
installed. The single reported case of this error occurred with bison
1.75, and was resolved by updating to bison
2.3.
