[webkit-dev] Building on Linux

[Mark Rowe]

Rich,

The build instructions haven't changed for the Gdk port since that  
wiki page was written.  Please note that the instructions say:
"The port is not fully-maintained, but contributors often provide  
changes to keep it in sync with the rest of WebKit. This means that  
it may not always be in a state where it builds, and even if it  
builds, it may not be in a working state."

If you can provide information about what errors you are seeing it  
would make it possible to determine whether the problems you are  
seeing are due to a missing component in your build environment, or  
due to the Gdk port simply being in a state where it does not build.

Kind regards,

Mark Rowe
