Thanks for reply.

I finally got it built successfully after I found the some missing header files and libraries, they were not included in the webkit source. Now I'm trying to build it using Visual Studio 2008, but got tons of warnings, like:

warning C4396: 'WTF::adoptRef' : the inline specifier cannot be used when a friend declaration refers to a specialization of a function template see reference to class template instantiation 'WTF::PassRefPtr<T>' being compiled

I know webkit site said currently it is not supported, but just want to know is it easy to resolve this compile error?

You could try changing the .vcproj to ignore warning 4396. -Adam

I tried the nightly pre-build, it seems the webkit.dll contains all the browser interfaces, but I want only the javascriptcore part. Is it possible?

JavaScriptCore currently builds as a static library, not as a DLL. It shouldn't be too hard to change JavaScriptCore.vcproj to create a DLL, though.
