[webkit-help] Compiling webkit on windows.

[Jean-Yves Avenard]

Hi.

I had just followed the instructions provided on the webkit site.
Which produces this type of build.

I had iTunes installed as documented.

The issue turned out to be that iTunes no longer install the registry
key SOFTWARE\\Apple Inc.\\Apple Application Support", L"InstallDir" as
searched in appleApplicationSupportDirectory
(https://webkit-search.igalia.com/webkit/source/Tools/win/DLLLauncher/DLLLauncherMain.cpp#84)

So I created that entry to c:\program files\iTunes and it's working
fine now. Can even play a YouTube video

My current primary machine is a PC and wanted to look into the code a bit.

Thank you all for your help. Much appreciated.

Jean-Yves
