[webkit-dev] Building WebKit on windows for the first time
Hi Peeps, I'm new to WebKit. I'm trying to build it for the first time under windows and keep getting errors. The linker seems to need absurd amounts of ram. I keep getting an out of memory error from link.exe. I've set up a machine for this by following the instruction on http://webkit.org/ Here is what ive done so far: Installed a new machine with Windows XP with 3.5 gb ram and a big big disk. Installed Visual Studio 2005 with all the SP's and patches mentioned. Installed the Platform SDK as mentioned. Installed Cygwin as described. I've got the source dirwctly from svn with the checkout command as described and put the source in my home gygwin directory, So far so good. I've done a update-webkit first. I found this detail somewhere on the net, dont remember where. I downloaded the WebKitSupportLibrary.zip thing and put it in the main dir, etc. When I run build-webkit, It builds and builds and builds etc, fine, but at some point i begin to see errors like $(PRODUCTION), $(DXSDKSIR) etc environment variables not set. (I suspect this isnt a big problem). The big problem is when the build reaches linking. It tells med Out of memory (LNK1102) every time. One thing ive tried, is that I suspected that it maybe was the wrong link.exe it got to (maybe the one in /cygwin/bin), so I renamed that to link_back.exe. Still same error. So it finds the visual studio 2005 link.exe fine. I'm sure this all is just me being a big webkit noob and someone has been thru this trail before? Any input would be very helpful ;) thx brgds Frederic Gos ___ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/webkit-dev

I thought webkit-help was for web development questions (e.g. how do I fix my site in webkit?). This question seems appropriate to webkit-dev. Frederic, I think the problem you're hitting is a known issue with the Windows release build. Building debug should work (i.e. build-webkit --debug).

Building debug should work (i.e. build-webkit --debug). I already responded to Frederic on webkit-help, but basically the answer is: You are most likely building in a 32-bit environment. The work arounds for this problem are as follows (choose one of the following): 1. Build in 64-bit Vista or Windows 7. 2. I have heard that KB949009 (https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/Downloads/DownloadDetails.aspx?DownloadID=18623) may correct the problem. 3. Or, you can turn off Whole Program Optimization on the WebCore project (see Configuration Properties|C/C++|Optimization), and turn off Link Time Code Generation on the WebKit project (see Configuration Properties|Linker|Optimization). The last option will definitely work (I do this for my test box, which is only 32 bits), though the best long-term choice is to run a 64-bit OS. -Brent ___ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/webkit-dev

Sorry guys, I actually wanted to write to the help list. I think I copied the address and forgot to change it. Anyway, thx for feedback. Its most helpfull. Ill try to build on a win764 tommorrow. I suspect it will work. :) thx Frederic On Wed, May 26, 2010 at 6:35 PM, Darin Adler da...@apple.com wrote: On May 26, 2010, at 9:30 AM, Ojan Vafai wrote: Isn't this a development of WebKit question?

Re: [webkit-dev] WebCore and reentrancy
Hi Anders. Currently, WebKit can only run on the main thread. Eventually, WebKit will be able to run on a dedicated secondary thread -- but still it won't be able to run on two threads.

Re: [webkit-dev] Building WebKit on windows for the first time
Hey, first, the list for questions like this is webkit-help. Solution: in sub project settings, turn off incremental linking and setting compile optimizations to O0 will solve your problem.

[webkit-dev] Alt text not shown when AutoLoadImages is turned off
I've noticed that when AutoLoadImages is turned off, the area where an image would be is totally blank. I'd expect to see the alt or title text, and maybe a border. George Staikos tells me that WebKit's always done this, but he can't remember the rationale. Is this by design? If so, what's the rationale for it? (If it's not by design, I'll open a bug.)
