[webkit-help] [WebKit] CoreFoundation.lib

[Jerry Evans]

Hello Xavier

You can download a Zip file with the VS2008 project file plus the code 
etc here:

http://www.novadsp.com/get2.aspx?product=cfl-VS2008.zip&source=webkit 
<http://www.novadsp.com/get2.aspx?product=cfl-VS2008.zip&source=webkit>

When unzipped you have this layout:

root
  +---------cfl-2008.vcproj
  +---------/cfl

You'll need to specify include paths like this

\cfl\include
\cfl\include\CoreFoundation

You should get a clean build this way.

It will be tough to make CFLite static. All of the internal 
setup/teardown is performed in DLLMain and, in the case of CFlite, this 
is rather complex. I agree that a static webkit.lib would be great - 
perhaps it will require some more work.

Longer term, I believe, the CFLite requirement could be removed too as 
CoreFoundation code is only used in a very small number of cases. YMMV.

Let me know how this works. Can you share you VS2008 solution files?

Thx++

Jerry
