I am going to start working on porting project, porting from QNX to Linux. In existing QNX platform, GUI and web page rendering are developed using Photon and webkit library. So could you please someone can guide me how to port these components to Linux. There is a lot of choice, but it depends a bit on the hardware you work on. First you should investigate the following GUI frameworks: -GTK (http://www.gtk.org) -Qt (http://qt.digia.com) -EFL (http://www.enlightenment.org) Once you decided which one you want to use, they all have WebKit ports: -WebKit GTK (http://webkitgtk.org) -QtWebKit -EFLWebKit If you are looking for commercial support for those frameworks, I believe Collabora (http://collabora.com) provides support for WebKit GTK, and Digia provides support for QtWebKit. I would also include Crank Software's Storyboard in that list. - Storyboard (http://www.cranksoftware.com/storyboard) Storyboard provides native support for QNX graphic frameworks (photon, agtdk, opengles) and also provides an off the shelf WebKit solution for QNX (and Linux) platforms. As a side note, Crank did the original WebKit port to QNX that you may be using.

Re: [webkit-help] Porting and using webkit on Windows Mobile
You should take a look at the WinCE port: http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/WinCE It is slowly being merged into the mainline tree, and in the meantime the git repository has a working version that is being refined by several contributing developers. Hope this helps, Thomas From: webkit-help-boun...@lists.webkit.org [mailto:webkit-help-boun...@lists.webkit.org] On Behalf Of me tk82c Sent: Sunday, November 07, 2010 11:19 AM To: webkit-help@lists.webkit.org Subject: [webkit-help] Porting and using webkit on Windows Mobile Hello Everybody, Our current app is a C# Compact Framework running on Windows Mobile and we need a powerful HTML + JavaScript engine.

[webkit-help] IDL file format description
I'm just working my way through the details of how an internal attribute/method works its way from being part of the C++ object to being exposed to JS and the interaction story there. I can see that most of the work of creating the JS bindings is done through the use of IDL files and the generate-bindings.pl Perl script. Is there anywhere that describes the WebKit elements of these files and how they are used? As a sample, I'm trying to follow the path of what happens when a CSS style element is changed on an object, what is the chain of calls from: JS element.style.visibility=hidden ~~~ JSElement -JSCSSStyleDeclaration -CSSStyleDeclaration/CSSMutableStyleDeclaration -Node/Dom -... Right now I'm making a bit of a leap of understanding across the JS barrier and into the generated code that I'd like to better understand.

I was hoping that someone might have simply set up a search entry page for the archive(s) without having to go to google and to the site: fiddling.

[webkit-help] Searchable mailing list archives
I'm looking for some advice on the best way to find old mailing list discussions to avoid repeating questions that have been previously answered and to use as a reference outside of bugzilla.

Re: [webkit-help] webkit memory optimization
luying pan wrote: Can someone read this post and help me understand it better? http://sendreceivereply.wordpress.com/2009/02/28/less-webkit-is-more-webkit/ I'm having a lot of trouble understanding why webkit chews up so much memory. This blog post helped me somewhat, although not enough for me to dig into the code and do the optimizations myself. This guy's basically saying that the way webkit is mapping fonts is inefficient. So much that after their tweaks displaying google.com http://google.com dropped from using 30MB to only 4MB. That's a huge reduction in memory! I'm not sure if they're contributing this kind of changes back ... I doubt it since it certainly takes more than 4MB to display google.com http://google.com on the latest nightly builds. Hi ... as the guy who wrote the post, one of the things to note is that in this particular case, the WebKit code base was from OWB and not from WebKit.org. The OWB port used freetype and fontconfig and at least some of the tuning was related to that (and is discussed in that and subsequent posts). Additionally, the font cache available with today's builds (from either site) was not available at the time we were doing that work, and some of the work we did at the time has been superceded by the work done by both WebKit.org and the OWB teams. A final bit of tuning also has to occur at the OS platform level. In that particular case, the work was being done on the QNX system, which as an embedded real-time system provides much different (finer?) control over a process' ability to return application heap memory back to the system on free's (as well as munmap's, but that's less special). Hope this clears things up a bit. We are actively working with some WebKit customers on improvements we hope to trickle back into the tree.
