A recent project change did not get properly added to the WinCairo
debug target, which caused this problem.  I just checked in a fix
(thanks for noticing this!), and everything builds properly as of
r105103.  This got missed because I only run a Release build bot now,
and had not updated my sources under Debug (until today).

I'm not seeing this problem with my build today.  Do I need to be
executing any particular kind of search or interacting with something
on the Google page?

Please note that I recently updated the WinCairo requirements
libraries to use the current CFLite sources, which may be coming into
play in some of your testing.

In the future, just go to http://bugs.webkit.org and write a bug
describing the problem and attaching the patch.

If the menu item is appearing, ENABLE_INSPECTOR is enabled.

Does the folder with your WebKit.dll have the WebKit.resources,
JavaScriptCore.resources, and CFLite.resources folders?  There are
various settings and resources in these folders that are needed to run
the inspector.  It sounds as though these folders may not exist in
your build for some reason.

Thanks,
