On this page http://webkit.org/building/tools.html. The last

This is ambiguous and confusing since 'paths' are added using the
'show directories for' drop down menu. The 'show directories for'
drop down menu contains the following options:
Executable files
Include files
Reference files
Library files
Source files
Exclude directories
You want to add it to "Include files", thus the mention of "include
path". I agree we can make it even more clear.
How is the reader supposed to know which option to select when adding
the additional path specified in Step 2? The instruction is further
rendered useless because of the confusing spacing and single type face
used for
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003
R2\Include\mfc"
What do you find confusing about it? I believe you should be able to
cut and paste the string. We can use a monospace font for this path if
you think it would help.
Can this be corrected so that the instructions are meaningful and can
someone advise me as to how I add the additional path?
Does the above help?
