Hi Alex

thank you for your prompt answer. That is good news because in the past I had different difficulties in setting up a functional environment with several trial and error steps inbetween, although I tried to exactly follow the installation guide. I tend to create a virtual machine for a reliable building environment, so with my next one I will try without the cygwin installation.

We use Webkit via COM interface on Windows in our application here, so I build rather infrequently, and with a working build, we then can live for some time. But for our use we would need 32bit dependencies, and if I understood correctly, there are currently only 64bit available. That doesn't matter at the moment, but when I am ready for our next build, I would ask again if you don't mind.

Thanks for your help!

That also applies to the WinCairo port. I don’t think you’ll need GNU Make any more now that we use CMake for Windows. You also shouldn’t need to install iTunes to build and run WinCairo. With WinCairo, you will also need the WinCairoDependencies.zip which you can get by running Tools/Scripts/update-webkit-wincairo-libs. Right now, only the 64-bit dependencies are included in that zip, but let me know if you need 32-bit dependencies. They are from https://github.com/peavo/WinCairoRequirements Then you should be able to build with Tools/Scripts/build-webkit --wincairo --64-bit

We really should update the instructions on webkit.org <http://webkit.org>

Does this also apply for the WinCairo port? Or does this port still require cygwin?

Those instructions are out of date. The most up-to-date instructions about building on Windows are http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/WindowsWithoutCygwin
