[webkit-dev] How to compile WebKit GTK+ port from ARM processor?

[Arun Patole]

Hi,

below are some basic things you would need to compile your webkit-gtk
port for any targeted system(e.g. Arm)

1. Get some cross compilation environment from compiling webkit on
your machine but targeting some other system like arm. E.g.
scratchbox, the one you mentioned, etc.

2. Get the require toolchain which will actually have tools/bins
reuired to compile your code for target machine(E.g. Arm)

3.  you will also have to cross compile/build all the dependencies
required to build webkit.

4. here is the list of webkit-gtk port dependencies:
        o Gtk+ (might be on X or DirectFb), it needs lot of
dependencies to be built and installed first, google search  it for
build details, packages, etc.
    	o gperf
	o flex
	o bison
	o curl(libcurl)
	o sqlite
	o icu4c-4.0(libicu)
	o libXslt

5. Build webkit
	o Get the latest source
	o ./autogen.sh && make && make install

Refer webkit.org/google (https://trac.webkit.org/wiki/BuildingGtk) for
more details.
