WebKit is a large (high-profile) project. Even for experienced developers, it 
might take a while until you manage to understand it. This means, you must be 
ready to invest some serious time and effort.

Anyway, from the previous error message that you posted, seems you want to 
build QtWebKit on Cygwin and Qt3. There is no way this is going to be a 
success. Try to find out more about QtWebKit and you will find the answers.

BTW, hundreds have successfully built QtWebKit on Linux and Windows by 
following these instructions:
http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/BuildingQtOnLinux
http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/BuildingQtOnWindows
