That's a great idea. I was planning to go this way as well, just
didn't get far enough in understanding how those scripts work.

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
