[webkit-help] Running cairo build of Webkit on other windows machines.

[Jerry Evans]

Mike,

Which version of VS did  you use to build?

I have had the same manifest issue with VS2005. I've come to the 
conclusion that the only way to get all of the parts to fit is to build 
everything from scratch with the same compiler (not yet accomplished!)

The source is in Github but right now only with working VS2010 project 
files.

You might want to try and pick up the paths to all of the referenced DLL 
files on the old machine. But probably  a quick path to hell ...
