[webkit-dev] Help needed. WebKit with Windows XP

[Brent Fulgham]

Hi Ivan,

Did you remember to set the environment variables as shown in "Building from
Within Visual Studio"?  You need to go to "Control Panel\System" settings,
select the "Advanced" tab, and use the "Environment" button to set these
values.

If they are not set, VS can't find the stuff in the tools directory.
