Hi All,
I'm trying to build WebKit on my Windows xp machine. I've tried to follow
the instructions on http://www.webkit.org/ to the letter, but I get an
error when I try to build. Console output is pasted below.
I didn't see much about this error in the list archives. Some Googling
brought me to a bug report from 2009, but I didn't know what to make of it.
(here<https://lists.webkit.org/pipermail/webkit-unassigned/2009-September.txt>,
and search for "find_checkout_root")
Does anyone know how I can fix this error and build webkit?
Many thanks,
Dave
