[webkit-dev] Running the GTK port on macOS with Docker

[Jean-Yves Avenard]

Hi.

Personally, I would love a way to quickly build for GTK on my Mac, as for now I had to rely on pushing to the EWS, wait for compilation errors and fix them as I went.

So something running in docker using my local tree would be ideal.
