I believe there is already a version check in https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/blob/eaba1c267428516c010a7ede5ae9844a4c8f9ed3/Tools/Scripts/webkitdirs.pm#L2307 which could be updated, though I’m not sure whether people building for Cocoa platforms still rely on build-webkit. _______________________________________________ webkit-dev mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
