[webkit-dev] Building Webkit on Windows

[Thomas Brodt]

Hi Alex

thank you for your prompt answer. That is good news because in the past 
I had different difficulties in setting up a functional environment with 
several trial and error steps inbetween, although I tried to exactly 
follow the installation guide. I tend to create a virtual machine for a 
reliable building environment, so with my next one I will try without 
the cygwin installation.

We use Webkit via COM interface on Windows in our application here, so I 
build rather infrequently, and with a working build, we then can live 
for some time. But for our use we would need 32bit dependencies, and if 
I understood correctly, there are currently only 64bit available. That 
doesn't matter at the moment, but when I am ready for our next build, I 
would ask again if you don't mind.

Thanks for your help!

Thomas
