Hi, I just managed to get a current SVN build of WebKit to build. The instructions on the website are great, but I ran into a problem because I chose to land my working sources on my D: drive (/cygdrive/d/Development/WebKit) rather than in the suggested home directory. In this configuration, I got a number of path errors: "wtk/Platforms.h: No such file or directory". I suspect that one or more of the bash scripts assumes $HOME or ~ path resulting in the error. As soon as I moved the source tree to my home directory "~/WebKit" everything built properly. Has anyone else encountered this? Thanks, -Brent

I've not personally seen the problem, but I don't think we've had too many people build in a configuration other than the one listed on webkit.org. Could you file a bug at http://bugs.webkit.org/ describing your setup and attach the build errors you encountered? Thanks! -Adam
Hi Brent,

Can you check whether JavaScriptCore was correctly built when compiling outside home dir? I built it outside the home directory (but on a "c" drive, cygdrive/c/dev/something) and got this kind of error only when JSCore wasn't correctly built. And that again happened because of a svn client related line-endings issue. Copying some wtk\* files to the right locations seems to happen as a post-build action of JSCore - as far as I understand. When the line endings issue was solved, the build was successful. Could something similar be the reason in your case?
