[webkit-dev] safari crashes on winXP

[Amit Joshi]

In that case, whats the recommended way of working / testing with the
latest trunk build on windows ? How do a typical bug-fixing process
happen on a windows development box (unfortnately I don't have a ready
access to linux, so I was wondering if I could contribute by just
working on windows box? )

I believe the trunk builds of Apples Windows WebKit port are not
compatible with the currently released Safari beta on Windows.

I think WebKit revision r26759 from 19th October as listed on the
Nightly build page is the latest compatible version.

http://nightly.webkit.org/
