How to build webkit-gtk3-2.0 @2.0.4_4 on a 10.5.8 PPC ?

Description
As webkit-gtk3-2.0 @2.0.4_4
is presently requiring clang-3.3
for building, and since clang-3.3
(and higher) in turn unfortunately is not able to produce PPC binary code I was wondering if gcc-4.9
is able to work instead, since the Portfile says
# configure checks that we're clang 3.0, gcc 4.7, or better
So I was trying
$ sudo port install webkit-gtk3-2.0 configure.compiler=macports-gcc-4.9
However, even the the configuration fails stating that the compiler (i.e. gcc-4.9
) is not working. The latter, however, of course is not true in general. Looking into the config.log
I found the following indicating trouble with command line switches (-V, -qversion, -fno-blocks
) being non-existent for gcc-4.9
:

I need webkit-gtk3-2.0
as one of the many components required for building gedit @3.14.3
.

Unfortunately, it looks like your 10 year old configuration is just not supported for this purpose. If you want to get this fixed, I suggest you push on improving ppc support in clang. Right now, the primary blocker for you would be http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=22270 ... without that, we can't get libc++ in Leopard (and thus have no hope of getting a newer version of clang on Leopard).

Thank you for pointing me to http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=22270
Looking inside the Portfile http://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/dports/www/webkit-gtk-2.0/Portfile?rev=120881 I suddenly found the lines
if {${os.major} < 10} { depends_build-append port:python27 # https://trac.macports.org/ticket/35793 configure.python ${prefix}/bin/python2.7 # https://trac.macports.org/ticket/38682 configure.optflags-append -fno-blocks }
Since gcc-4.9
has no and does not need a -fno-blocks
switch, once I commented that line the configuration of webkit-gtk3-2
worked:
$ sudo port configure webkit-gtk3-2.0 configure.compiler=macports-gcc-4.9 ---> Computing dependencies for webkit-gtk3-2.0 ---> Fetching archive for webkit-gtk3-2.0 ---> Attempting to fetch webkit-gtk3-2.0-2.0.4_4+video.darwin_9.ppc.tbz2 from http://nue.de.packages.macports.org/macports/packages/webkit-gtk3-2.0 ---> Attempting to fetch webkit-gtk3-2.0-2.0.4_4+video.darwin_9.ppc.tbz2 from http://lil.fr.packages.macports.org/webkit-gtk3-2.0 ---> Attempting to fetch webkit-gtk3-2.0-2.0.4_4+video.darwin_9.ppc.tbz2 from http://mse.uk.packages.macports.org/sites/packages.macports.org/webkit-gtk3-2.0 ---> Fetching distfiles for webkit-gtk3-2.0 ---> Attempting to fetch webkitgtk-2.0.4.tar.xz from http://nue.de.distfiles.macports.org/macports/distfiles/webkit-gtk ---> Verifying checksums for webkit-gtk3-2.0 ---> Extracting webkit-gtk3-2.0 ---> Applying patches to webkit-gtk3-2.0 ---> Configuring webkit-gtk3-2.0
However, after issuing
$ sudo port install webkit-gtk3-2.0 configure.compiler=macports-gcc-4.9
and compiling, after a while I had to surrender, since webkit-gtk3-2.0
contains code which is not supporting PPC:

To summarize, webkit-gtk3-2.0
unfortunately cannot be built on 10.5.8 PPC, but not because of existing clang
deficiencies, just since Macroassembler
only supports ARM, ARMv7, MIPS, x86, x86_64, and SH4.

If you wish to submit a patch to get things building, I'll certainly take it, but really the best way forward (IMO) is a newer toolchain.

There is a macro there #if ENABLE(ASSEMBLER)
.
Perhaps use can refrain from enabling it.
UPD. Amazingly, it is still broken for PowerPC: https://github.com/WebKit/webkit/blob/main/Source/JavaScriptCore/assembler/MacroAssembler.h (i.e. not just Darwin, but also BSD/AIX/Linux). I suggest just disable it. No point to implement it for an archaic WebKit.
This is one for jeremyhu as he is more current on compiler configuration.
