[webkit-help] no WebKit2.h

[Yanke (Yon) Hu]

Thank you! Adam,

Your explanation is excellent!

Another question is, I see minibrowser.exe is also in nightly build. If I
solely want to run it, can I just put minibrowser.exe in the directory of
\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support ?

That directory is due to installing Safari, and it provide bunch of dlls
required by MiniBrowser.exe ?

Previously, I thought I can just put MiniBrowser.exe into that directory,
and it will run. But after I did that, it shows

"The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration
is incorrect. Please see the application event log or use the command-line
sxstrace.exe tool for more details".

So if I just want to run MiniBrowser.exe, is it necessary to build all
webkit stuff?

Thanks very much!!

Yanke
