[webkit-help] no WebKit2.h

Thank you, Adam,

Now what I am hoping to do is:

Since I already have all dlls I need(WebKit.dll from nightly build,
CoreFoundation.dll, etc from safari). And I also have Project sln file from
nightly source.

I want to solely build MiniBrowser.exe, so that I can get familiar with
Webkit API, and do some modifications (Build every thing cost too long
time).

You said I need to build WebKit2 first.    I built WebKit , and see
\WebKitBuild\Release have  4 folders: include, lib, obj, bin (include folder
has WebKit2\WebKit2.h as you mentioned, and bin folder has things similar to
nightly build)

I guess what I need is just \WebKitBuild\Release\include (header files) ,
and dlls(I use dlls in directory of   \Common Files\Apple\Apple Application
Support for convenience)

I open the WebKit.sln in  Source\WebKit\Win\WebKit.vcproj,

I only care about MiniBrowser project, right click it, choose  Properties.
 In Configuration Properties->C/C++->General->Additional Include
Directories, I add :  \WebKitBuild\Release\include (header files)

In  In Configuration Properties->Linker->General->Additional Library
Directories , I add the position of \Common Files\Apple\Apple Application

Then I rebuild only MiniBrowser,

It shows some error message like:


1>Deleting intermediate and output files for project 'MiniBrowser',
configuration 'Debug_All|Win32'
1>Performing Pre-Build Event...

1>MiniBrowser - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)
========== Rebuild All: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 skipped ==========




Do you think if there is a way I can solely build MiniBrowser? Assume I
already build everything beforehand.

 I think building everything once is fine, but I don't want to build
everything every time even when I made a little change for a single
project(like Minibrowser).

Thanks very much,  and have a great day!!
