someone who should have been asking this question on webkit-dev... :) ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: lkcl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Chromium-dev <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Thu, 4 Sep 2008 13:44:19 -0700 (PDT) Subject: Re: Where can I get basic WebKit software? chandra, hi,
webkit's core is independent of the widget sets that use it. there _happens_ to be some widget set wrappers, which various teams have added, and these _happen_ to be included in the webkit source repository, for many people's convenience. you are pretty much on your own if adding your own home-grown "drawing" set, unless you can convince other people that it is a worthwhile task to do. also, from what i can gather, google's chrome team _did_ consider it worthwhile - and they have added "skia" as the drawing engine [which i am about to ask what that's about, and when the patch is going to be done to get that back into webkit]. so you should be looking at both the chromium version of webkit, and also the three widget-set-versions, wxWidgets, qt and gt, to compare the _differences_ between these, to find out how to add your own. i for one will be very interested to see your work, because i have added glib bindings to webkit (https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi? id=16401) so that i can have them in pywebkitgtk (http:// code.google.com/p/pywebkitgtk/issues/detail?id=13) so that i can (finally) have pyjamas (http://code.google.com/p/pyjamas) running as a desktop app (http://pyjd.sf.net). i'm interested because jumping through two levels of bindings hoops - glib and then python - seems a bit silly, and one prerequisite to make it all a bit faster is to have native screeen drawing, not gtk-based sccreen drawing. thenn it''s worthwhile adding native python bindings to webkit. ... but yes - this is a question you should have asked on the webkit- dev mailing list :) l.
