But that is already it. There are no Gnomish requirements on top of that, the libsoup-gnome library is optional and not needed for normal functionality. So it comes down to whether or not Glib is feasible for your port. ciao, Christian _______________________________________________ webkit-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/webkit-dev
