Thanks! 
 
I'm still getting familiar with the code, but please let me know if there is 
anything I can do to help with cairo/curl work.-Paul

You correctly determined that the current build instructions are out of date.  
Yes, some updates are required.I have been planning to update the wiki page 
with enhanced directions on how to build.  Please wait and I will update it 
over the next couple of days.Best,Dan

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

Hi 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 p.s. apologies if this is not 
the appropriate forum for this question
