           Summary: Add back the Win32 target
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Unspecified
        OS/Version: Windows 7
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit2
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: mcrha at redhat.com


Could the Win32 target be added back, please? I'd like to help with that version to make it compile and run, using WebKit2 (I know WebKit1 is gone in 2.6.x, which is the reason for this bug report too). The cmake currently claims to me that either x11 or wayland target should be enabled, but I'd like to build under the Win32, using msys/mingw. This could be done with fixes from bug #133028 (and its tree of dependencies) as a starter.

If I recall correctly, the only "problem" would be the interprocess communication, but for that can be used D-Bus, just like on Linux, especially when it is patched with https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=83539 .

Thus there might not be any major issues blocking the build, I guess.

If you'd prefer to add here a patch for me for testing (and eventually to be extended by me), then I'm all for it.
