Hi Krzysztof,

This is what I'm doing right now with the wx port (I have a ./build- wxwebkit script), and it's working pretty well for me. I'm building using make/gcc on Unix and Mac, and using MSVS 2005 on Win. The other benefit of a script is that you can integrate all the steps (e.g. regenerating the makefiles) into the build process so it 'just works' without having to remember to take certain steps each time you build or change a particular file.

I'd recommend that for now we just add a script such as this in WebKitTools/Scripts, like build-gdk-webkit, so that people can use it to easily build the port. I was chatting with the WebKit devs on IRC and it sounds like we can just update build-webkit to start the build- gdk-webkit script for the GDK build; this approach would allow both the gdk and wx ports to work with build-webkit fairly simply. Actually, unless someone else wants to take care of this, I could go ahead and take care of this myself; I'm going to do it for the wx build anyway.

Regards,

Kevin

Current svn gdk build works. Here's a script I use to do a full build:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/src/webkit-tot$ more ./gdk-rebuild.sh
#!/bin/sh
pushd .
cd WebKitTools/Scripts
./regenerate-makefiles
cd ../../JavaScriptCore
make clean
make
cd ../WebCore/Projects/gdk
make clean
make .DerivedSources
make
cd ../../../WebKitTools/GdkLauncher
make clean
make
popd

To run:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/src/webkit-tot$ cd WebKitTools/GdkLauncher/
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/src/webkit-tot/WebKitTools/GdkLauncher$ source ENV
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/src/webkit-tot/WebKitTools/GdkLauncher$ ./gdklauncher

If you get a lots of compile errors, that probably means missing
dependencies. Check that you have icu-dev installed.

You have to have the latest Ubuntu 6.10 since that's the only one that
has the required cairo version.

Thanks Mark,

Alas, I fear I have have tried everything I can think of. I'm doing this in
a fresh parallels ubuntu.


1. Installed ubuntu.
2. Installed gcc
3. Installed svn
4. Installed the missing python pieces
5. Installed the bakefile version linked to in the readme.
6. Followed the instructions in the readme. I am now getting the gnu
makefiles.

Still no good. Lots of compile errors trying to make webcore/ projects/gdk.

Am I missing anything? Is there a *current* tutorial on how to build webkit
on linux?

Thanks again,

RC
