The quotations in this thread are a bit screwed. Lucas De Marchi said the first paragraph here. I think Christophe is correctly quoted, but that part seems to be on a different mailing list.

Er, I'm confused here.

I kinda gave up on WebKit 1 with EFL when I got a half dozen levels deep in the build dependencies my OS did not have, found GPL v3 at that level, and shuddered with horror at the thought of it contaminating everything all the way up. No idea how many more levels deep the dependencies went. My OS has everything needed to actually run WebKit as standard. How come I needed to spend all day compiling missing dependencies just to build it? Using more EFL might actually help that, by reducing the other dependencies. In the end I used uzbl, a stand alone WebKit based executable designed to be a HTML widget you feed commands to through a pipe, in the traditional "do one thing and do it well" Unix philosophy. It's not EFL, but way easier to build with, and kept any viral licenses well separated from code I want to release under BSD. I look forward to a WebKIt 2 based EFL, then I'll look at it again and see if it's still seven layers of dependency hell to build. I wonder how hard it would be to port Dillo to EFL?
