webkit-gtk: Undefined symbols _objc_registerThreadWithCollector

[M.Hairer@…]

The subject says it all... The system is 10.8.2 with Xcode 4.5.2 on a retina MBP. To make sure that I wasn't using an outdated port, I did:

sudo port -yds sync
sudo port -vds selfupdate
sudo port -vs upgrade outdated
sudo port -v clean webkit-gtk
sudo port install -s webkit-gtk

The output of the last command is:

--->  Computing dependencies for webkit-gtk
--->  Fetching distfiles for webkit-gtk
--->  Verifying checksum(s) for webkit-gtk
--->  Extracting webkit-gtk
--->  Applying patches to webkit-gtk
--->  Configuring webkit-gtk
--->  Building webkit-gtk
Error: org.macports.build for port webkit-gtk returned: command execution failed
Please see the log file for port webkit-gtk for details:

To report a bug, follow the instructions in the guide:

Error: Processing of port webkit-gtk failed

I will attach the log file.

Please compress large files; I've uploaded a compressed version of your log and deleted the original.

Remember also to use WikiFormatting when writing in Trac, to fill in the Port field, and to Cc the maintainer of that port.

The first error I see in the log is:

I see this same error was also filed as ​upstream bug 58737 last year against Snow Leopard. There is a small patch attached there.

Thanks for the info.

Great, that seems to work fine, thanks a lot. Applying the patch automatically doesn't work because it was made against an older version of webkit-gtk. However, changing the two relevant lines by hand does the trick.
