Hi All, I was able to get Spinneret to build: I just needed to update the paths in the .sln file so that the defendant project files were being found correctly. (Previously, I was building WebKit in a separate solution. I had assumed this was OK. But apparently, there were some dependencies that were being resolved automatically by Visual Studio when all the projects are in the same solution.) Now (of course), I am having problems getting it to run. I had to find a handful off dll's and now it launches, but at this line: HRESULT hr = CoCreateInstance(CLSID_WebView, 0, CLSCTX_ALL, IID_IWebView, (void**)&gWebView); I get the error: Runtime Error! An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly. Somebody out there must be using Spinneret, can you please help? Is Spinneret now defunct? If yes, then why was that Win32 build issue resolved just 10 days ago? Is someone successfully using Spinneret with the new Win32 build?

1. Find the file(s) that contain your missing GUIDs (_IID_IWebViewPrivate for example). I'd put racing odds on these being located in a .H file. 2. See what flags are used to compile said file(s) when Safari is built. There is sometimes preprocessor hackery involved to avoid multiple-reference linker errors. 3. You can double-check 2) by getting the linker to create a .MAP file and finding the locations of the missing GUIDs there. 4. Ensure the results of 1 and 2 are included in the Spinneret project. 5. Report results to the panel.

Clear?

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the reply! It is good to see at least someone is reading my emails :).

...

...

There are instructions on webkit.org for building WebKit on windows and running it with the windows version of Safari.

Thanks for the pointer. I do already have WebKit building and running with Safari. However, I need a windows application that is not Safari for the demo I am working on.

...

...

My understanding is that spinneret is not being worked on anymore.

I would have suspected that, however this bug fix: http://trac.webkit.org/projects/webkit/changeset/23566 for this bug: http://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14154

shows "Bug 14154: Spinneret doesn't build against the new Win32 port." is now resolved. The change is from 06/18/07 which is only 11 days ago.

So apparently, Spinneret is both being worked on and does build against the new Win32 port.

So, can someone please help me with the linking error I see below....Pretty please.....At least tell me what library I need to link.

Thanks, Double-D

If you have trouble getting your questions answered on the mailing list, you can try the webkit irc channel. There are instructions for connecting to the IRC channel on webkit.org .

Dear Webkit Team,

It's been almost 24 hours and no one has replied to my posting.

I would really appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction toward solving this problem.

I see that another posting ( http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/ webkit-dev/2007-June/001940.html) asking for help with Spinneret also went unanswered. Is there something with Spinneret that I should know about?

Is it politically incorrect to use Spinneret?

Is my question a stupid one that anyone should know the answer to?

Even so, I'd really appreciate some help with this so that I can move my project forward.

Thanks, Double-D

I would like to build Spinneret on windows. (I need a windows test application for windows other than Safari.exe).

I did see one post that said Spinneret was an outdated test application and implied you shouldn't waste your time on it. However, I also see there was a code fix recently on 2007-06-18 to fix the Spinneret build against the new Win32 port, so I assume Spinneret is still supported. Anyway, this seems like a very useful tool.

To build, I simply added the include path: $(WebKitOutputDir) \include\webkit but, then the build fails at the link step (see error message below)

This looks to me like a very simple problem to fix, but my COM knowledge is not very deep (I think this is a COM issue) so I could use some help.

Can someone please let me know how to resolve this?

Thanks, Double-D
