Cannot build ewebkit-svn from AUR due to harfbuzz issue

HI,

I am unable to build ewebkit-svn due to harfbuzz been split into harfbuzz and harfbuzz-icu. This seems to a known problem in webkit, there has been a patch to fix this but I think it is not working for EFL port.
Please let me know if anyone else has faced issue and has any idea how to fix it.

Thanks and regards,
Saurabh

Re: Cannot build ewebkit-svn from AUR due to harfbuzz issue

I reported it on their bug tracker a while ago, but no response (which is not a surprise). The GTK port fixed it a few days after the harfbuzz update, and the EFL port still hasn't after more than 2 months.

Edit, I hadn't looked around for a while. This patch looks promising, I'm testing a version now: http://www.mail-archive.com/pld-cvs-com … 16358.html

Re: Cannot build ewebkit-svn from AUR due to harfbuzz issue

The patch works but required one more change for Webkit2. In the file Source/WebKit2/PlatformEfl.cmake we need to replace the line:

${HARFBUZZ_LIBRARIES}

by

${HARFBUZZ_ICU_LIBRARY}
${HARFBUZZ_LIBRARY}

in the list(APPEND WebKit2_LIBRARIES entries.
