This looks like a bug in build-webkit. Could you please file a bug at <http://webkit.org/new-bug>?

This looks like a bug in print-vse-failure-logs. Could you please file a bug at <http://webkit.org/new-bug>?

This looks like a bug in build-webkit. Could you please file a bug at <http://webkit.org/new-bug>?

The latter two problems are occurring because we recently changed the layout of WebKitBuild on Windows, but forgot to update these scripts. I'm not sure why the first problem is occurring, but it could be due to recent changes to the layout of the WebKit source tree. Getting these three issues into Bugzilla would be great! (Please CC aroben at apple.com when you file the bugs.)

Sorry for the trouble. In the meantime, you should be able to find the build logs in WebKitBuild/<Debug or Release>/obj/<ProjectName>.
