[webkit-dev] Debugging inspector injected scripts

[Vivek Galatage]

Hi Pavel,

I have one question regarding the webkit trunk and these inspector related
changes.

So as per the link, I downloaded the chromium continuous build archive and
then followed the instructions to setup the frontend code for debugging.

Can I achieve the same thing with webkit trunk build instead of downloading
the chromium archive? As I would like to make changes in the inspector
backend (.cpp changes) so how can I proceed with this? So do I need to
build the webkit trunk for chromium port to get this working?

Thank you,
Vivek
