[webkit-dev] Building the Qt version on Linux

[sea]

Hi,

I am very new to this WebKit technology. I have tried to build Webkit using
Qt.

I have taken the source from WebKit Nightly Builds: "*WebKit
r31787<http://nightly.webkit.org/files/trunk/src/WebKit-r31787.tar.bz2>
* was built on 11 April 2008 and is a 8.9 MB download."

I got this building error of libQtWebKit shared library.

tmp/chartables.o:(.rodata+0x0): multiple definition of
`kjs_pcre_default_tables'
tmp/pcre_tables.o:(.rodata+0xa0): first defined here

The error is obvious because JavaScriptCore/pcre/pcre_tables.cpp has
included the generated "C" file (#include "chartables.c")

After commenting out that, build was successful. I just wonder, how that
simple mistake is ignored.

I tried to run Qt Webkit.

./WebKitTools/Scripts/run-webkit-tests --qt

It opens up the main window but I could not browse or do anything with it.
Is this expected? I am pretty interested to help developing WebKit using Qt.
Thanks!
