Thanks kjk, The scripting issue got resolved with "svn co". But I can still see compilation issues. Are there any milestone (stable, may be older) branches which compile well on Windows? Can anyone help me getting it compiled?

First, make sure that you do "svn co" under cygwin shell in order to get files with unix-style line-ending - last time I've tried and didn't do it, perl scripts wouldn't work. It's also possible you're not running from Cygwin or it's misconfigured. Also, I've never tried the script, I always built using WebKitTools\Spinneret\Spinneret.sln -- kjk ____________________________________________________________________________________ Food fight?

loading dylibs from netscape plugin package
by Don Agro 02 Feb '07

02 Feb '07

Hi, Is it possible to have a netscape plugin (similar to NetScapeMoviePlugin) load dylibs from it's own package contents ? The dylibs in question have the @executable_path install name set and can be loaded from a standalone application package but if I am not mistaken when the plugin is loaded by Safari this @executable_path install name is interpreted as the Safari MacOS package contents folder not the one in my plugin. Is there any way to change this ? TIA Don Agro

Quicktime Plugin Javascript API
by Benoit Marchant 31 Jan '07

31 Jan '07

Hi I've been trying to use the javascript API for the quicktime plugin in an XHTML transitional document with no luck. I've used the following markup: <object name="Movie" width="600" height="600" type="video/quicktime" data="small.png"> <param name="src" value="small.png" /> <param name="AutoSize" value="1"/> <param name="scale" value="aspect" /> <param name="controller" value="false" /> <param name="href" value="almost.png" /> <param name="target" value="OldCoverArt" /> <param name="bgcolor" value="transparent" /> <param pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/"/> <param name="enablejavascript" value="true"/> </object> which works great in WebKit and Firefox. I also tried the version with the embed inside an object tag, not working either. I tried what is described here (http://developer.apple.com/documentation/QuickTime/Conceptual/QTScripting_J… ) for example, document. Movie.GetQuickTimeVersion(); and GetQuickTimeVersion doesn't exist on that object. Is that suppose to work, if yes would someone have some clue? Thanks in advance, Benoit

Is there a reason why I can't get keychain to remember and/or prompt to save or recall usernames and passwords?

Error compiling WebKit COM part
by Rikardo Tinauer 24 Jan '07

24 Jan '07

I've checked out the code from svn on monday 21st of Jan. I successfully compiled JavaScriptCore and WebKitCore on Windows XP. But I have problems compiling WebKit, after some quick fixes of adding some methods to classes that were obviously forgotten for win32, I got to COM part. I've got these messages from VC8 compiler: WebFrame.h: error C2259: 'WebFrameLoaderClient': cannot instantiate abstract class <methods listed that should be implemented> WebFrame.cpp: error C2259: 'ChromeClientWin': cannot instantiate abstract class <methods listed that should be implemented> WebFrame.cpp: error C2259: 'ContextMenuClientWin': cannot instantiate abstract class <methods listed that should be implemented> WebFrame.cpp: error C2259: 'EditorClientWin': cannot instantiate abstract class <methods listed that should be implemented> WebFrame.cpp: error C2259: 'ContextMenuClientWin': cannot instantiate abstract class <methods listed that should be implemented> Is this part of code not yet finished, or did I miss something?

looking to get involved
by sam mussell 19 Jan '07

19 Jan '07

Hello, I recently graduated with a BS in computer science and I currently work as a web developer. I would like to get involved in Web Kit as a way to contribute to a project I like and to gain some experience working on larger scale projects. I have taken classes in compiler construction, software engineering, and networking. I am also very familiar with C/C++. Anyhow I was just wondering what the best way to get started was, and if anyone has any suggestions of a good project to start with. Thanks for your help. -Sam

layout tests
by Lars Knoll 19 Jan '07

19 Jan '07

Hi, I have finally gotten the layout tests for the Qt build running a few days ago. This does however bring two basic problems: * run-webkit-tests generated results for new tests on the fly This give problems both for the user and the build bots. As a user, you don't see that there is a new test checked in for which you don't have a result. This is especially a problem for the Qt build currently, but will also hit the Mac build once we start checking in layout tests. A test that doesn't have a result on a platform will most probably also need some manual inspection to ensure it works correctly on that platform. The build bots run into trouble, as they will generate/store the result for the new test locally. Once someone commits the result, you'll end up getting svn merging issues, as the files the build bot wants to check out already exist on disk. I've fixed this issue with r18976. run-webkit-tests does now not generate new results by default anymore. You'll have to pass the --new-tests flag to it to force it to do so. * All test results are stored together with the LayoutTests. This is ok for text only tests (as the results can be shared), only that run-webkit-tests currently doesn't know whether a test is text only. Once we submit the Qt test results (including pixel tests), you'll get 3 move files per test case. In the long term we might get results from even more platforms, completely cluttering the directories. Checking out all the test results does already now take quite some time (and people working on the Qt port don't really need the Mac results and vice versa). Adding more results will at some point make this prohibitive (the LayoutTests directory is at around 600MB currently, the number can be multiplied with every platform that has tests running). One way of solving this is to move all test results into a separate results directory (or even separate repository). In there once could have subdirectories shared (for the text only tests), mac and qt. We could also add some sort of script to use instead of 'svn update' that will not check out the results you don't need. Opinions? Cheers, Lars
