[webkit-dev] Trying to builder older version of webkit (but failing) - looking for help

[Alexey Proskuryakov]

Hello Ted,

603.1.30 is the version included with Safari 10.1 on Sierra, so yes, building it against High Sierra SDK with newer Xcode puts you on uncharted territory. The file that you are hitting an issue with is one of the first files in WebCore to build, so chances are that there will be many other build issues later on.

Getting an older macOS version to debug with would likely be a more practical approach.

> Hi. My name is Ted. I am a web application developer. I've got a site done using CSS Grid. Version 10.1.2 (12603.3.8) of Safari has a small issue rendering one page because we didn't explicitly specify grid-template-rows.

I found this stackoverflow question that suggests a method for running an older version of Safari but some of the links are now broken.
