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

[Double-Dee Zee]

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
