If you've got things set up to build the stock WebKit, you might first want to see if you can get the WinLauncher to work. If so, you can feel a bit safer taking the next step.

To build with Cairo, you need additional libraries (see http://trac.webkit.org/projects/webkit/wiki/BuildingCairoOnWindows for some details).

You will need to place the libraries someplace (e.g., c: \build_requirements) and update the Visual Studio build environment to look there.

I think I called my project file "WebCore.vcproj.cairo"; obviously, you will want to rename this to just "WebCore.vcproj" for the solution to find it.

Hope that helps,

-Brent

Hi Brent,

Again many thanx for your help.

Currently I am going through the blogs and trying to figure out how to setup the environment. Its a bit confusing to me.

Hope it is not too much to ask for a step by step guide to setup the environment for Win. Right now I have the codes and compiled by using Cygwin. Where should I go next? I have also downloaded those VS project files for both WebKit and WebCore but they do not really work.

Sorry I might sound like a dummy..........

Best,
Ivan

Note that there is nothing Cairo-specific about WinLauncher; you can use it to run the CoreGraphics-style WebKit as well. This might be a good thing to try first, to make sure your debugging environment is set up properly, etc.

Let me know if you run into any problems. Note that you'll need to grab the changes on http://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17300 to get project files that build Cairo-style.

I will go through the planet webkit blogs and try if I can start to get something started. Might come back with more questions though.

Ivan (and anyone else interested in WebKit for Windows):

I've added http://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17428 to allow you to build the WinLauncher application I use for testing.
