[webkit-help] Building WebKit on Windows

[Bear Travis]

Hi again folks!

I did eventually get WebKit to build (yippee!), but it has started failing again recently and I was hoping the problem sounded familiar to someone.

I am currently getting a bunch of errors when building the WebKit target, mainly:
C:\cygwin\home\user\WebKit\WebKitLibraries\win\Include\CFNetwork/CFURLConnection.h(336): error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'dispatch_queue_t'

I looked a bit earlier in the build output and also saw this, though I'm not sure if it's related:
C:\cygwin\home\user\WebKit\Source\WebKit\WebKit.vcxproj\WebKit\WebKitPreBuild.cmd : VCEnd The system cannot find the file path specified. File not found

Thanks for bearing with me as I get this up and running. Help is much appreciated,
-Bear Travis

Hi All,

My journey to build WebKit on Windows continues! I have gotten past a fair number of errors, but the build script has started hanging and I'm not sure what to do next. The build script starts:

$ Tools/Scripts/build-webkit
Falling back to existing version of WebKitSupportLibrary.
Building results into: /home/user/WebKit/WebKitBuild
WEBKIT_OUTPUTDIR is set to: C:\cygwin\home\user\WebKit\WebKitBuild
WEBKIT_LIBRARIES is set to: C:\cygwin\home\user\WebKit\WebKitLibraries\win
/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0/Common7/IDE/VCExpress.exe WebKit.vcxproj\WebKit.sln /build Release

And the build just hangs, no output, nothing. The cygwin downloader wasn't working for me, so I downloaded the official cygwin installer and installed the required packages. This problem with hanging started showing up after I installed the ruby package. I am building on Windows 7 (32 bit) with Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0 (VC++ Express).

If anyone has any ideas, I would be grateful for the help. As it is, I'm not even sure how to debug the problem :-/

Thanks for your time folks!
