Since bumping to 2024.02 the build for wpewebkit is failing. Last BR version I worked with was 2023.08.3 (where it worked) so I can't tell about the ones in between.

I tried adding a dependency on host-libyaml for wpewebkit but it didn't help. Any Ideas?

You need to add the host-libyaml dependency to host-ruby (instead of wpewebkit) and re-build host-ruby: --- a/package/ruby/ruby.mk +++ b/package/ruby/ruby.mk @@ -20,7 +20,7 @@ RUBY_LICENSE_FILES = LEGAL COPYING BSDL RUBY_CPE_ID_VENDOR = ruby-lang RUBY_DEPENDENCIES = host-pkgconf host-ruby -HOST_RUBY_DEPENDENCIES = host-pkgconf host-openssl +HOST_RUBY_DEPENDENCIES = host-pkgconf host-openssl host-libyaml RUBY_MAKE_ENV = $(TARGET_MAKE_ENV) RUBY_CONF_OPTS = \ --disable-install-doc \
Thanks Peter! That fixes the build for me. But would this approach be feasible to fix this? Or should we do something like ifeq ($(BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_LIBYAML),y) HOST_RUBY_DEPENDENCIES += host-libyaml endif in the ruby.mk and then depend on host-libyaml in the wpewebkit.mk?
There is no BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_LIBYAML option (yet) in buildroot (not all host enabled packages have a proper configure setup, most/many are simply enabled by a direct dependency statement and host-libyaml and host-ruby are among of them), either the above patch/hack is acceptable (despite the additional host-libyaml dependency for all other host-ruby users qt5webkit, webkitgtk, ruby) or host-ruby is extended to an real host package (Config.in.host, BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_RUBY and BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_RUBY_YAML_SUPPORT)...
I came across the same problem while preparing the bump to webkitgtk-2.44.0: https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/buildroot/list/?series=401571 See patch about ruby: https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/buildroot/patch/20240403171424.44580-1-thomas@devoogdt.com/ I independently had the same comment about how to add it properly. Anyway, webkitgtk is a quite big fish to compile, so the additional few seconds to get host-libyaml is perhaps not worth the additional trouble.
