[webkit-help] Webkit Build Error

[Aman Gupta]

Thanks Adam. I switched to the version of Windows SDK mentioned on the
WebKit website. I am using Visual C++ Express Edition, not Visual Studio.

After the change, the "build-webkit" script started running. After running
for about an hour, it failed with the following error message:

*WebKitSupportLibrary is up-to-date.*

*Building results into: /home/amang/webkit/WebKitBuild*

*WEBKITOUTPUTDIR is set to: C:\cygwin\home\amang\webkit\WebKitBuild*

*WEBKITLIBRARIESDIR is set to:
C:\cygwin\home\amang\webkit\WebKitLibraries\win*

*/cygdrive/c/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio
8/Common7/IDE/VCExpress.exe win\WebKit.vcproj\WebKit.sln /build Release*

*Traceback (most recent call last):*

*AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'find_checkout_root'*

*===== BUILD FAILED ======*

* *

*Please ensure you have run Tools/Scripts/update-webkit to install
dependencies.*

* *

*You can view build errors by checking the BuildLog.htm files located at:*

*/home/amang/webkit/WebKitBuild/obj/<project>/<config>.*



Can you help me out again, please?



Thanks
