[webkit-dev] Re: Re: A newBie question about compilation (Artem Ananiev)

Right, you can run your own build of WebKit (WebKit.dll) using Safari. The 
script 'run-safari', as I remember, searches for Safari at the default location 
only (c:\program files\safari\safari.exe), so you need to install Safari there 
or modify the script.
