I got qt4 installed and also read the documentation at the given pages. While building webkit using WebKitTools/Scripts/build-webkit i got lots of errors like: can't find iculib, cairo-ft....i installed thos libs also...than i was getting errors like: can't find include file like chartables.c and a few other files....also in some of the script files there was some mention of xcode (which i don't think is available on linux)...and there can be a different code branch for linux...
Many of the scripts reference things like Xcode, Visual Studio, etc. That is to be expected. WebKit builds on many platforms besides Linux, and uses the platform's native tools in those situations.
initially from dicussion it was looking as if building webkit and execute its test suite will not be that much difficult but in absence of clear documentation (i am trying it on new machine which might not have all the dev tools installed) it doesn't seem very user friendly.
The documentation for building the Gtk port is written for developers familiar with a Linux environment, and a great many people have used it to successfully build and test with the Gtk port. It's not intended to hold a users hand through the process at this point. Building for end users is usually better left to distributions that will eventually package WebKit for their users. If you're still having difficulty getting things working it may be easier to join us on IRC to discuss the specific issues you are having than going back- and-forth via email.
