[webkit-help] no WebKit2.h

[Yanke (Yon) Hu]

Sorry, Adam,

It looks this error is due to my computer... (my computer is cursed?)

When I change to another computer , the only thing I need is just put
MiniBroswer.exe into the directory of   "\Common Files\Apple\Apple
Application Support"

Thanks very much, and have a great day!!
