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

Fri Jun 29 17:00:24 PDT 2007

Hi All,

I was able to get Spinneret to build:
I just needed to update the paths in the .sln file so that the defendant
project files were being found correctly.

(Previously, I was building WebKit in a separate solution.  I had assumed
this was OK.  But apparently, there were some dependencies that were being
resolved automatically by Visual Studio when all the projects are in the
same solution.)

Now (of course), I am having problems getting it to run.  I had to find a
handful off dll's and now it launches, but at this line:

HRESULT hr = CoCreateInstance(CLSID_WebView, 0, CLSCTX_ALL, IID_IWebView,
(void**)&gWebView);

I get the error:  Runtime Error!  An application has made an attempt to load
the C runtime library incorrectly.

Somebody out there must be using Spinneret, can you please help?

Is Spinneret now defunct?  If yes, then why was that Win32 build issue
resolved just 10 days ago?  Is someone successfully using Spinneret with the
new Win32 build?

Thanks,
Double-D
