[webkit-help] Nmake error when building QTWebkit with VC2008

[Shanfeng Cheng]

Hi, Everyone,

I am trying to build the latest trunk of QtWebkit with MSVC2008. The command I used to build it is:

>perl Tools\Scripts\build-webkit --qt --debug --icon-database 

Right after beginning, I got a nmake error:

Makefile.WebCore.DerivedSources(223) : fatal error U1000: syntax error : ')' missing in macro invocation
Stop.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'd:\apps\vs2008\VC\BIN\nmake.exe' : return code '0x2'
Stop.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'cd' : return code '0x2'
Stop.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'd:\apps\vs2008\VC\BIN\nmake.exe' : return code '0x2'
Stop.

I opened the file Makefile.WebCore.DerivedSources and found that line 223 is a very long command like this:

echo $(addprefix D:/WebKit/Source/WebCore/, css/Counter.idl css/CSSCharsetRule.idl css/CSSFontFaceRule.idl ...)  | tr ' ' '\n' > ....

It does have an ending bracket right before the following tr command. 

Has anyone else run into this issue?
  
Best regards.
