Should following the directions for building WebKit using Cairo and CURL work?
I tried to build webkit yesterday with updated source code based on the wiki
page directions and I have 39 errors.My company is evaluating using WebKit on
Windows CE and as a first step I am trying to build webkit on Windows XP
without any non-redistributable Apple libraries.
Best regards,
Paul

Windows?CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Patrick,Glad to hear the positive feedback on
Safari/WebKit performance on Windows. IMHO, this performance is due much more
to the WebKit portion--much less to the Safari layer.Please note that if you
would like to use WebKit on Windows, the mainstream version requires
non-redistributable Apple libraries. This means you cannot use it in a
commercial application.However, there is an effort underway to replace the
Apple libraries with opensource alternatives. See
http://trac.webkit.org/projects/webkit/wiki/BuildingCairoOnWindows. This
should give you a solution that you can use with your commercial
application.Best,Dan

Hi List.
My company is developing an in-store kiosk application using DHTML/Ajax, etc.
It has to be Windows for a variety of reasons. The goal is to have a nice
looking interface with lots of tasteful, fancy animations. We were initially
planning to use Internet Explorer to maximize hardware peripheral integration
(i.e. card reader, proximity sensor, etc.) and most kiosk management software
vendors assume IE; but needless to say IE's performance is suboptimal. Firefox
is much better. But Safari blows them all away in every respect – JavaScript
performance, rendering speed of animations, overall prettiness, etc. My big
question… How much of Safari's prowess can be attributed to WebKit? I ask
because I have tried both Adobe Air's WebKit port and the latest QT QWebView
widget and I just don't see the same results – they are both good, but not
nearly as smooth and pretty. Why is Safari so much better, and is there any
way to get that Safari experience in locked down fullscreen mode?
Thanks for indulging.
Patrick
