Since then, I’ve figured out what was going on, and I wanted to post a follow-up to document my findings. I’ll also be updating our Wiki page on the topic (<<a href="http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/BuildingOnWindows">http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/BuildingOnWindows</a>>).</div><div><br></div><div>1. Curl version 7.34.0 has a known bug that prevents it from authenticating over SSL. This means that ‘update-webkit’ will fail when attempting to sync with our servers at <a href="http://apple.com">apple.com</a>. Please be sure to use cURL 7.33.0 (and make sure libcurl is the matching version). See <<a href="http://curl.haxx.se/mail/tracker-2014-01/0003.html">http://curl.haxx.se/mail/tracker-2014-01/0003.html</a>> for details.</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Note: This has already been fixed by the cURL team, and we just need to wait for the Cygwin folks to update their builds.</div><div><br></div><div>2. Subversion 1.8 refuses to handshake with our servers at <a href="http://apple.com">apple.com</a>. I’m working with the right folks internally to fix this, at which point we can allow svn 1.8 clients. For now, we need to stick to Svn 1.7.</div><div><br></div><div>3. My initial concerns about Make 4.0 were unfounded. After trying the version I did not find there to be any issues.</div><div><br></div><div>The only significant issue I currently have is with Python 2.7.3. I’ll report back once I understand how to resolve this problem.</div><div><br></div><div>I have confirmed that if you stick to the above versions of software, you can successfully configure and run a Windows build environment. If any of you have encountered other problems, please let me know.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div><br></div><div>-Brent</div></body></html>
