Which version of PhantomJS are you using? Tip: run 'phantomjs --version'.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.compiling the source code by running the build.sh
2.scripst failed with below erro message
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lQtWebKit
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [../bin/phantomjs] Error 1

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Build.sh script should end with success message, so that we can run deploy/package-linux-dynamic.sh which creates phantomjs.tar.gz
Which operating system are you using?
uname -a
Linux nyfwpla101.ny.fw.gs.com 2.6.18-128.1.6.el5 #1 SMP Tue Mar 24 12:05:57 EDT 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Did you use binary PhantomJS or did you compile it from source?

sudo apt-get install libwebkit-dev

for a debain based OS should work

the error means you are missing the webkit package.

[ariya]

[email protected] commented:

That's incorrect, libwebkit-dev is not needed at all since PhantomJS comes with its own copy of WebKit.

I experienced this error after "git checkout 1.6" (as per http://phantomjs.org/build.html). It went away when I switched to "git checkout master".

Try again with the latest stable branch and see if it still persists.

[damienfa]

I experienced this error... I'm on the latest stable branch... I don't find any solution. An idea ?
(I'm on MacOs 10.6.8, g++ => i686-apple-darwin10-g++-4.2.1)

[curtisturner]

Experiencing the same issue. I'm installing on a Virtual Machine via Koding....

Error: phantomjs did not build

[crayze]

I had the same (in my case with phantom 1.9.2).
This error happends when QtWebKit library compilation failed and then while trying build phantomjs -lQtWebKit is missing. If you check previous compilation log, you probably will see what rly happend with QtWebKit compilation error.

In my case I had 2 problems:
1:
missing wayland-client.h file in 1 of cpp files (wayland.cpp as i remember), but when I opened this cpp file, there was just empty C++ main() function, so including wayland-client.h does not matter for this cpp and in this case i commented those:
// #include <wayland-client.h>.
This will fix this problem (only because cpp main code is empty, nomrally don't do that and install needed packages).

2:
Problem 2 says:
/usr/include/unicode/umachine.h:345:17: error: conflicting declaration ‘typedef int32_t UChar32’
and sollution is here:
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=82824
If you open src/3rdparty/webkit/Source/JavaScriptCore/JavaScriptCore.pri you will find commented:
CONFIG += text_breaking_with_icu
uncommenting this 1 and rebuild all fixed the problem.

After that phantomjs/src/qt/lib/libQtWebKit.a were build successfully and phantom build with success

@rurabe your issue (mine as well) may be related to CPU architecture rather than OS version. See SSSE3 fails on latest Haswell based MacBook Pro and Air

This comment outlines the exact failures I see.

hacking in -no-ssse3 to the phantomjs formula allows me to compile via homebrew on a haswell MBP. Note that that formula already incorporates the struct TabletProximityRec patch pointed out by @crayze.

Edit: the homebrew formula for qt now unconditionally adds the -no-ssse3 flag in this commit.

[yukinying]

It seems the problem of TabletProximityRec is already patched as https://github.com/ariya/phantomjs/blob/master/src/qt/src/gui/kernel/qt_cocoa_helpers_mac_p.h#L113 is now using Qt 4.8.5. However it looks like it is not in the stable release (1.9).

Are there any timeline for 1.10 to incorporate the new Qt?

[artkoshelev]

reproduces on my mac air in master branch, any workarounds?

[timbru31]

Had the issue today, too.
OS X 10.10 and trying to upgrade to phantomjs-1.9.7_1 with Homebrew.

Any fixes / workarounds?

[jsmestad]

also having this issue with 1.9.7_1 like @xGhostKillerx

[vitallium]

Provide any build output please. It seems that QtWebkit failed to compile.

[artkoshelev]

here is my build output for 1.9 branch https://yadi.sk/i/yevi62brbJKh5

[timbru31]

Here is mine, too

http://playground.dustpla.net/phantomjs/build.log

(also this is the same as Homebrew/legacy-homebrew#32179)

Edit: Maybe a qt issue with 10.10? See Homebrew/legacy-homebrew#29988

[zeglin]

I had this issue on Debian Wheezy yesterday. Compilation crashed with "cannot find -lQtWebKit". I solved it by installing glib / libgtk:

sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev

and then run the build again:

./buildsh

Hope that helps!

[artkoshelev]

btw with system provided qtwebkit build is still failed:

./build.sh --confirm --qtwebkit=system

PhantomJS 1.x will not build on Yosemite. I don't think we'll ever fix this (focusing on 2.x only for now).
