[webkit-gtk] WebKitGTK+ 1.6.1 released!

Thu Sep 29 05:10:34 PDT 2011

Hi,

I am new to WebKitGTK.

I am trying to compile the latest release of WebKitGTK+ 1.6.1.

1. Compilation stopped during the generation of the following file:

make: *** No rule to make target
`DerivedSources/WebKit2/AuthenticationManagerMessageReceiver.cpp', needed by
`all'.  Stop.

Could any body please help me out which setting is missed out during the
compilation process?

2. I have downloaded the source code from WebkitGTK website.
For compilation following command is mentioned:
$ Tools/Scripts/build-webkit --gtk
But in the downloaded code, there is no "Scripts" directory in the "Tools"
directory. Could anybody tell why is "Scripts" directory missing?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Prince Goyal
