phantomjs 2.0 fails to build on ubuntu 14.04

[a1gucis]

Hi,

I followed the phantomjs 2.0 build procedure on http://phantomjs.org/build.html.
The build fails with:

/app/phantomjs/src/qt/qtwebkit/Source/WebCore/release/libWebCore.a(qrc_InspectorBackendCommands.o): In function `qInitResources_InspectorBackendCommands()':
qrc_InspectorBackendCommands.cpp:(.text._Z39qInitResources_InspectorBackendCommandsv+0x0): multiple definition of `qInitResources_InspectorBackendCommands()'

make[1]: *** [../bin/phantomjs] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/app/phantomjs/src'
make: *** [sub-src-phantomjs-pro-make_first-ordered] Error 2

Does anyone have any ideas why the compilation/linking process fails?

Try to build from the source tarball while we're investigating the issue.

This issue has been fixed in #12899

Hi,

Yesterday I have pulled the phantomjs 2.0 build and tried to install as per the steps on http://phantomjs.org/build.html on my Ubuntu 14.04.

But, it didn't work and failed with the same issue:

How to fix this issue?

Added a compiled binary for 15.10 if anyone interested: https://github.com/mdproductions/phantomjs/tree/master/bin/linux
