Compile Webkit
I am trying to compile webkitgtk I downloaded the webkit source, extracted
CMake Error at Source/cmake/OptionsGTK.cmake:12 (message):
GCC 4.9.0 is required to build WebKitGTK+, use a newer GCC version or clang
I downloaded 2.14.7 – just like CentOS 7.4 has, how can I be getting a GCC
error ?
My goal is to get the MediaSource package in webkit working. It seems to not be enabled. Is there a better way ?
Thanks,
Jerry

Jerry, it looks to me like cmake wants gcc v.4.9.0, but you’ve got v.2.14.7. You could find and download gcc v.4.9.0 and install it, say, to /usr/local/bin/ and adjust the makefile or args to cmake accordingly… or maybe it wouldn’t even need any of that.
There might be, but I have no idea even what webkit does… and I’ve even got webkitgtk3 installed and didn’t know it was there… looking around in the “Applications” menu and in the files included in the package, I couldn’t find a way to launch it or any documentation about it. Unless somebody argues really good with me, I’ll probably think I
don’t need it. :) So better way for what?
No charge, it’s open source.
The webkitgtk4 needs to use the devtoolset-6 gcc to build.
This is my root log to get it to build:
https://buildlogs.CentOS.org/c7.1708.00/webkitgtk4/20170808203516/2.14.7-2.el7.x86_64/root.log
I used the CentOS SCL SIG version of devtoolset in this mock config:
