OK. I want to play! With much bitching and patching, I have now got WebKitGTK+ (1.8.1) compiled with the patch from the first post in this thread. I'm on Gentoo x86_64, so I have some somewhat incompatible tools in the kit, and (autoreconf -fvi) was needed to get around the libtool version mismatch. Then, I had to manually edit the "configure" file to remove a syntax error in the FLEX check. Then, I needed a patch for the bison thing (http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/124099/). It finally compiled with --enable-introspection --disable-spellcheck. I'm using the latest pyjs from git on feature/giwebkit branch, and I'm getting "no module named gi" when I try to run "python Hello.py". I feel I must have missed an incantation somewhere. The libwebkit3[...]gz link in the second post in this thread has gone missing, and I was going to look there for a hint. I realize that I am whining that "this recipe doesn't work with *my* oven", but a hint would be much appreciated, even "these are not the codes you are looking for". - Jim Washington --
