= Build GStreamer and WebKit on Mac OS =

This page describes how to enable GStreamer support on the mac port of WebKit. It is still experimental and requires patches in WebKit. The patches are currently in a [http://git.igalia.com/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=webkit.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/gst-mac git branch]

== Requirements ==

Git and JHBuild:

{{{
git clone git://git.gnome.org/jhbuild
make -f Makefile.plain install
PATH=$PATH:~/.local/bin
}}}

== GStreamer build ==

My JHBuild moduleset only supports git version of GStreamer at the moment.

{{{
git clone git://github.com/philn/jhbuild.git ~/gst-build
cd ~/gst-build
git checkout --track -b mac origin/mac
jhbuild -f jhbuildrc bootstrap --ignore-system
jhbuild -f jhbuildrc build
}}}

You might see a build failure for guile. Just skip that module, it is not needed for the WebKit or GStreamer build.

== WebKit repo setup ==

It's possible to clone directly from git.igalia.com but it will
be slower, there's more bandwidth at git.webkit.org :)

{{{
cd ~/gst-build/build
git clone git://git.webkit.org/WebKit.git
cd WebKit
git remote add igalia http://git.igalia.com/webkit.git
git fetch igalia
git checkout --track -b gst-mac igalia/gst-mac
mkdir Frameworks
}}}

== GStreamer.framework build ==

The GStreamer.framework includes GLib as well. I first tried to bundle it separately but without
much success. It would be nice to make that happen though (I think).

{{{
cd
git clone git://github.com/philn/gtk-osx.git
cd ~/gtk-osx
git checkout --track -b gst origin/gst

cd ~/gtk-osx/framework
./create-GStreamer-framework.sh ~/gst-build/install/ ~/gst-build/build/WebKit/Frameworks
}}}

== WebKit build ==

This can probably be done with the XCode UI:

1. Set the GLIB_ENABLED build setting of JavaScriptCore/Configurations/Optional.xcconfig to YES
1. Set the GSTREAMER_ENABLED build setting to YES in the following files:
    * WebCore/Configurations/Optional.xcconfig
    * Webkit/mac/Configurations/Optional.xcconfig
1. Then build the thing and run Safari:
{{{
cd ~/gst-build/build/WebKit
Tools/Scripts/build-webkit
Tools/Scripts/run-safari
}}}
