[webkit-help] Webkit Build Error

[Aman Gupta]

Thanks again Adam. I have successfully updated WebKit. While building
WebKit (running "build-webkit" script), I encountered the following error:


*$ perl build-webkit*
*
*
*Installing WebKitSupportLibrary...*
*The WebKitSupportLibrary has been sucessfully installed in*
* /home/amang/webkit/WebKitLibraries/win*
*Building results into: /home/amang/webkit/WebKitBuild*

I am working on a computer with Windows 7 64 bit version installed. I have
also installed the Platform SDK, albeit a different version. I read
somewhere that WebKit has problems recognising Platform SDK on Win64
systems. Can you please help me out with this?

Thanks
Aman Gupta
