That also applies to the WinCairo port.  I don’t think you’ll need GNU Make any more now that we use CMake for Windows.  You also shouldn’t need to install iTunes to build and run WinCairo.  With WinCairo, you will also need the WinCairoDependencies.zip which you can get by running Tools/Scripts/update-webkit-wincairo-libs.  Right now, only the 64-bit dependencies are included in that zip, but let me know if you need 32-bit dependencies.  They are from https://github.com/peavo/WinCairoRequirements <https://github.com/peavo/WinCairoRequirements>  Then you should be able to build with Tools/Scripts/build-webkit --wincairo --64-bit

We really should update the instructions on webkit.org <http://webkit.org/>
