Subject: [core-updates] QtWebKit build failures
Date: Wed, 11 Aug 2021 17:14:40 -0400

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

I noticed that QtWebKit fails to build on core-updates due to
incompatibility with current Python, ICU, glib, and bison.

I worked around those issues by cherry-picking upstream fixes
(attached).

However, the build still fails like this:

Hello Leo,

> ld: ../../lib/libWebCore.a: error adding symbols: malformed archive

I missed your thread and ended up applying the same set of patches, to
reach the same error.

According to
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45654547/linker-could-not-read-symbols-malformed-archive,
this could be caused by some size limit of archives.

I tried to set:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
  "-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release"
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

because it seems that it defaults to "RelWithDebInfo" that adds debug
symbols, but I doesn't help :(.

Mathieu

I see.

I haven't tried building from a branch yet, rather than cherry-picking a
handful of patches.

The warning message on their release page says that releases will come
from the qtwebkit-dev branch but, on GitHub, the default branch is
qtwebkit-dev-wip. And there is work on the qtwebkit-5.212 branch that is
more recent than the qtwebkit-5.212.0-alpha4 tag, which is what our
package is based on.

So, I think that someone should try these branches, and maybe try to
figure out which is the right one to try...

Hi Leo,

I found the cause of the "error adding symbols: Malformed archive".
It happens because the maximum number of open file descriptors is too
low. I pushed a fix (f3152cf3021892ba7e2f3d837207eb1ee64bfdb6) raising
the limit from 1024 to 4096 in the build phase on top of your 4 patches,
and the build succeeds.
