Thank you Justin for this information,

should be a good thing to report this bug.
But, does anybody can commit a bug?

webkit/win32 shouldn't need pthreads to work. If the pthreads using code isn't protected by an if/else, that's a bug and should be filed on bugs.webkit.org

    Hi Mikael,

    Hi !

    I have tried to get web kit to build on win ( in VS 2005 ). I've
    followed the instructions but I get following problem when compiling

    1>c:\webkit-proj\javascriptcore\wtf\tcspinlock.h(157) : fatal
    error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'pthread.h': No such file
    or directory

    In fact Win32 does not support *pthreads* because those threads
    are defined by the POSIX standard ('pthread' = POSIX thread).

    So you have to find an implementation of pthread.h for Win32. This
    web site provide us a good solution :
    http://sourceware.org/pthreads-win32/

    What you need here is only the files to include in visual studio
    (as pthread.h) and the library files :
    ftp://sourceware.org/pub/pthreads-win32/dll-latest. The *include*
    and the *bin* are what we need.

    So go on your favorite command processor and open a /ftp/
    connection to /sourceware.org/

    what I have done :

    $ *mkdir* /your_path/*/include*
    $ *cd* /your_path/*/include*
    $ *ftp sourceware.org*
    User (sourceware.org:(none)): *anonymous*
    Password: /type enter/
    *cd pub/pthreads-win32/dll-latest/include*
    *wget **
    mget md5.sum? *y*
    mget pthread.h? *y*
    mget sched.h? *y*
    mget semaphore.h? *y*
    quit
    $ *mkdir* /your_path/*/bin*
    $ *cd* /your_path/*/bin*
    $ *ftp sourceware.org*
    User (sourceware.org:(none)): *anonymous*
    Password: /type enter/
    *cd pub/pthreads-win32/dll-latest/bin*
    *wget **
    mget libpthreadGC2.a? *y*
    mget libpthreadGCE2.a? *y*
    mget md5.sum? *y*
    mget pthreadGC2.dll? *y*
    mget pthreadGCE2.dll? *y*
    mget pthreadVC2.dll? *y*
    mget pthreadVC2.lib? *y*
    mget pthreadVCE2.dll? *y*
    mget pthreadVCE2.lib? *y*
    mget pthreadVSE2.dll? *y*
    mget pthreadVSE2.lib? *y*
    quit

    Then we will have to notice to visual studio where this boy can
    find these libraries and include files. ( Visual Studio 2005
    professional edition : *Tools -> Options -> Projects and Solution
    -> VC++ Directories* ).

    1>Project : warning PRJ0018 : The following environment variables
    were not found:

    1>$(WebKitSDKDir)

    3>$(BuildBot)

    These appear to be only warning, so I don't think it is a problem,

    Nevertheless, for the moment you can't build Webkit on windows,
    there is too many bugs to fix.
    I'm trying to to build it with QT and not with Win32 (it doesn't
    work, but I'm pioneering the stuff).

    I hope this helps.
    If there so many details it is just because I created a little
    documentation for my company mates, if they want to do it ;-) .

    Have a good day.

    Seb.
