[webkit-dev] Re: Spinneret build issue (on Windows)

[Christopher Brichford]

My understanding is that spinneret is not being worked on anymore.   
There are instructions on webkit.org for building WebKit on windows  
and running it with the windows version of Safari.

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.
