The .lib file is an import library that contains stubs to all the functions in the DLL and automatically loads and attachs the DLL. This is how much win32 shared libraries (DLLs) are packaged (otherwise you have to open the library yourself and search for all the entry points and build pointers to the functions, etc.) I'd basically want this so I can use the JavaScriptCore DLL in my project (i.e., not just as an update for Safari.) I'd also like to see the specific header files put in there, but that's not as important but would be nice. [>] Brian Eric Seidel wrote:
It sounds like this mail is specifically requesting one thing: that .lib files be included in windows nightlies. Is that correct? (I don't know what a .lib file is enough to know if this is a good idea or not.)
If that is your request, please file a bug. http://webkit.org/quality/reporting.html
All the pieces to build nightlies can be found in here: http://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/WebKitTools
Last I knew, Mark Rowe (reachable on #webkit as bdash) builds our nightlies.

After weeks of labor, I'm ready to switch from SpiderMonkey to Nitro. One thing that would make my life much easier is to use the nightly builds as "development binary releases." I know this is a little outside their intended use. For OS X, it's easy, I just open the package and grab the framework. For win32, though, I'm missing the lib to go along with the dll. Is it possible whatever script builds the nightly could also put in the lib, and even better (I can get these from the source, so it's not a big deal), the interface headers for JSC (and probably those for the other components.)
I understand that I'm basically asking for a convenience on my part, but I think a lot of open source libraries have binary releases and hopefully it might be simple on your end (to alter some script.)
Thanks,
