[webkit-efl] Porting MiniBrowser to Elementary

Wed Oct 10 00:25:07 PDT 2012

Hi Kenneth~

I don't understand fully what you meant. :-)

Did you mean web module in elementary library?
AFAIK, WK2-EFL doesn't have elm webview.

Kind regards,
Kangil

Why isn't the elm webview in WebKit as a module that will only compile
when elementary is installed?

Would that make sense?
