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

[Nevo]

You need those libraries for ARM ,not for x86.  Basically, you could try to
search precompiled binaries/headers/libraries for all those dependencies ,
copy them to one place,like /opt/arm/ . Then set
LD_FLAGS/CFLAGS/PKG_CONFIG_PATH....  to point to the proper dirs under
/opt/arm/.
Unfortunately, I have no idea what's the best host for those stuffs, you
might better do it yourself ,that should be not too hard , just a mater of
time :)
