[webkit-help] Cross-compiling webkit for ARM platform on Linux-x86 machine

[Jilu Oommen]

Hi Nevo,

I can see the JPEG, TIFF, PNG  libraries already installed in /usr/lib
/usr/lib/libjpeg.so -> libjpeg.so.62.0.0
/usr/lib/libjpeg.so.62 -> libjpeg.so.62.0.0
/usr/lib/libjpeg.so.62.0.0

/usr/lib/libtiff.so -> libtiff.so.3.8.2
/usr/lib/libtiff.so.3 -> libtiff.so.3.8.2
/usr/lib/libtiff.so.3.8.2
/usr/lib/libtiffxx.so -> libtiffxx.so.3.8.2
/usr/lib/libtiffxx.so.3 -> libtiffxx.so.3.8.2
/usr/lib/libtiffxx.so.3.8.2

/usr/lib/libpng12.so -> libpng12.so.0.24.0
/usr/lib/libpng12.so.0 -> libpng12.so.0.24.0
/usr/lib/libpng12.so.0.24.0
/usr/lib/libpng.so -> libpng12.so
/usr/lib/libpng.so.3 -> libpng.so.3.24.0
/usr/lib/libpng.so.3.24.0

I wanted to build webkit without --disable-svg --disable-wml, 
--disable-jit etc

Can you please suggest from where I can get gtk libraries for ARM?

Thanks and regards,
Jil
