Okay:</div><div><br></div><div>I’m attempting to make the Windows build rely less on the Cygwin tool chain. There are a number of reasons for this, but one of the major benefits I hope to derive is to reduce the amount of effort required to successfully build WebKit on Windows.</div><div><br></div><div>In service of that goal, I am actually making things slightly more complicated: you now need to install a Windows build of Perl and Python, You can use ActiveState’s builds (<a href="http://downloads.activestate.com">http://downloads.activestate.com</a>), or the ‘official’ Windows ports of these products.</div><div><br></div><div>If you encounter any problems with this “dual Perl/dual Python” situation, please let me know and I’ll work to resolve whatever difficulty you encounter. However, based on my testing on our internal build machines I do not anticipate you will have any trouble.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div><br></div><div>-Brent</div></body></html>
