issues about building Webkit

Hi there

I’m having a problem with building WebKit for Tizen IVI. To build webkit using the standard “gbs build -A i586 –include-all” method, it takes almost two hours. Since I need to change and test webkit, the build time is too much for me. Therefore I’m tring a different method  by running these commands :

sudo gbs chroot ~/GBS-ROOT/local/BUILD-ROOTS/scratch.i586.0/
cd /home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/webkit2-efl-123997_0.11.47/BuildWK2-i386 
make

 

webkit2-efl-123997_0.11.47 is the webkit release I’m using right now.

 

The building of webkit went succesfully and I can see the shared library file libewebkit2.so.0.11.47 was created. But  after I copied the newly created shared library file to the target Tizen device , then started my test widget file, it didn’t display any graphic interface or window. If I restored the shared library file, then the widget worked correctly.

 

The regular method to build webkit package works correcty, i.e. “gbs build -A i586 –include-all”. If I install the webkit package RPM built from the command on the IVI device, it works properly.

 

Anybody has suggestion about this?

 

Thanks a lot,

Chi
