> If Visual Studio 2005 suffices, I'd give it a try. ok. let's change the subject.... it's bog-standard compile-procedure for webkit, under VS, but you must add in the patch for the glib bindings. you'll need a _hell_ of a lot of libraries. read this: http://lkcl.net/webkit/cross-compile-gtk.notes.txt and of course ignore mingw32 bits - use it to track down the locations for the various libraries in win32 form, including the .a files. you'll need cairo, gtk, gdk, libxml, libxslt and libicu. ibm's moved that on to version 4 and it's compiled up for win32 already. do make yourself known to the #webkit-gtk team on irc.freenode.net and ask for their help. _do_ use the code i have at github.org, use the 16401.master branch, i do not recommend attempting to use the latest svn plus the patch at bugs.webkit.org because alp has moved things on a bit and i haven't the time to update to the latest svn and redo the patch. http://github.com/lkcl/webkit/tree/16401.master then, once you have a libwebkit.dll, you'll be in a position to recompile pywebkitgtk for windows. this should be very very straightforward: there's nothing out-of-the-ordinary, other than you must patch it, use the last download / attachment from here: http://code.google.com/p/pywebkitgtk/issues/detail?id=13 i'm not _entirely_ sure how you go about compiling a c-based python module under windows, esp. one that requires autoconf: perhaps someone else here can advise, but if i was to be doing it, i'd start off by installing MSYS, locating a windows version of autoconf and gnu make and friends, and seeing how far i could get from there. you'll definitely need a windows version of python-gtk2 first, though, which will, aside from anything, give you lots of clues as to how to go about compiling pywebkitgtk - it's exactly the same principle. the reason why you'll need python-gtk2 is because of codegen.py - that is used to turn the webkit.defs into a webkit.c file. good luck! :) l. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
