[webkit-help] Questions on Webkit compliation on Windows

[Muralidharan Narayanan]

Thanks Adam for the reply.

Here are some follow questions I had.

- What is the difference in the SOURCE from nightly code location (
> http://nightly.webkit.org/) and SOURCE from
> (http://nightly.webkit.org/files/WebKit-SVN-source.tar.bz2<http://nightly.webkit.org/files/WebKit-SVN-source.tar.bz2>)
> that is updated every 6 hours. The SOURCE from the 2 different locations are
> significantly different in sizes, 16 MB as compared to 700 MB in the tar.bz2
> file. Also, these two are different from the SVN checkout of source from the
> trunk

Regarding the above I observed that there were differences with regards to
directories as well. For example, WebKitTools directory is present in
nightly source while it is not present in code checked out using svn
command. Don't know what to infer from that. It was just my observation.
Similarly for case of WebKit2 directory

Ok. This seem to work. However, I am getting this below error. Do you know
what I should do to fix this.
