Hi,

You can't build DumpRenderTree with 2.8.5, because DumpRenderTree only 
works with WebKit1, and 2.8.5 only supports WebKit2. You need to use 
WebKitTestRunner instead. It should be built automatically when you 
build WebKit, so you don't need to build it manually. Both of these 
tools are intended for running layout tests. You'll probably never need 
to run WebKitTestRunner manually (I don't think I ever have). You can 
run all the layout tests with the following command:

Tools/Scripts/run-webkit-tests --gtk

Again, I caution that 2.8.5 is an old release that contains a huge 
number of known security vulnerabilities. It should not be used on any 
device connected to the Internet.

Good luck,

Michael
