Hi Mark, First of all I tried the Apple build by unsetting the QTDIR environment variable. It got a little farther but died in various places. However, I decided to abandon that build and attempt the QT per the instructions at http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/BuildingQtOnWindows. It also fails, although differently. The following is the build output. Please not my source tree in my cygwin directory structure, but I was not building in a cygwin shell. That's just where the source was from my previous build attempts using cygwin. Also note the initial "The system cannot find the path specified" error is due to a reference to /dev/null in a perl script within a system call.
At this point, I am at a total loss as I have yet to be able to build anything. The system cannot find the path specified.

If you want to build the Qt port on Windows, you should follow the instructions at <http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/BuildingQtOnWindows>. As I mentioned previously, the instructions at <http://webkit.org/building/build.html > are related to building Apple's Windows port rather than the Qt port.
