[webkit-help] WebKit Build Failed: cannot open file 'JavaScriptCore.lib'

[Rick Xu]

Hello,

I am trying to build WebKit+Cairo on win XP with cygwin+MS Visual
Studio 2005. I followed the procedure on WebKit's website. Unluckily I
failed to build the webkit, and got the following message.

It seems that, the JavaScriptCore.lib is not in the lib folder. I am
wondering if "JavaScriptCore.lib" is generated automatically? and why
there is such a error, and how can I solve it.

Thanks a lot!!!
