[webkit-dev] WebKit and Windows/Cygwin

[Frank.Lautenbach at softechnics.com]

Aryia,

Thanks for the response. Something is still confusting to me. When I
follow the instructions to get and build WebKit from the main WebKit.org
page, what exactly am I building?

Frank

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
