Hi Everyone,

 I am trying to build Webkit on Windows Xp. So far i have done the
following,

Step 1: Installing the Developer tools http://webkit.org/building/tools.html

     I skipped the steps 1 and 2 since i am having Microsoft Visual Studios
2008 (Licensed Copy) installed Cygwin, QuickTime SDK, February 2010 DirectX
SDK<http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=2c7da5fb-ffbb-4af6-8c66-651cbd28ca15>
.

Step 2: Checking out Webkit http://webkit.org/building/checkout.html

     Downloaded a snapshot of the WebKit source tree from
http://nightly.webkit.org/files/WebKit-SVN-source.tar.bz2.,WebKit Support
Libraries<http://developer.apple.com/opensource/internet/webkit_sptlib_agree.html>to
the root of my source tree (
C:\cygwin\home\<username>\WebKit).
     and ran update-webkit from WebKitTools/Scripts Folder It was not able
to find the folder Visual Studio 8 in one of the depended scripts since In
my Program Files its Visual Studios 9.0 I just renamed in
     the script causing the issue and it worked

Step 3: Building Webkit http://webkit.org/building/build.html

     I ran the build-webkit script but i was getting an error that Solution
was not in required format so i opened "Microsoft Visual Studios 2008" and
converted the projects in the 2008 format. Ran again and i got
     plenty of errors this is one of the build log..

     Build Log      Build started: Project: FindSafari, Configuration:

correct.
