I wanted to give it a try to actually try the Webkit interface in Pidgin. You can actually compile it without major hassles.
Dependencies I had to install, fetched from sunfreeware.com: - sqlite3 - fontconfig 2.4.2 (requires changing the version number in fontconfig.pc, which is still 2.2.98) - libcurl - gperf Things I had to do myself: - Symbolic link of gcc in /usr/bin, since it's hardcoded - Download and compile libicu, with LDFLAGS=-Wl,-Bsymbolic - Drop an implementation of vasprint in WebCore/dom/XMLTokenizer.cpp (PS: http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4508459) - Create a libexpat.la in /usr/local/lib (there's none in /usr/lib, apparently also hardcoded) - Add -liconv in two places in the GNUmakefile - Copy pkg.m4 from /usr/share/aclocal to the local directory and add "-I ." to aclocal in autogen.sh Things that might influences some errors of the lack of them: - In the past, I've compiled and installed autoconf and automake from gnu.org Proof's in the pudding: http://www.storageserver.be/images/webkit_solaris.jpg I had quite a few of linking issues regarding libstdc++ because I used gcc4.2. I'll retry with the shipping gcc3.6.3 and see what happens. I have absolutely no clue about packaging and anything beyond, but I'm sure you SFE guys can use these findings to create a spec file. -mg This message posted from opensolaris.org
