I currently do not build WebKit yet, but plan to do so. So I haven't looked at any build scripts yet. And as webkit.org explicitly says that VS2008 is not supported, I didn't try. I hoped VS2008 would be officially supported when I finally got the time to start my Webkit project.

In the bug tracker, I found to bugs related to Visual Studio 2008, one resolved for the documentation only (that 2008 is not supported: 18186) and another one about unresolved issues with friends (22299). So I assumed it wouldn't work.

FYI, Chromium port of webkit builds fine with VS2008. I'm pretty sure
it would be trivial for other ports. Did you try fixing the build
script by yourself?

BTW: How are the chances that VS2008 will be supported somewhen in the
future? Are there any plans? Or is it a greater challenge to do that? I'm
not a genuine C++ developer, so I'm pretty clueless about that.

The reason behind that question: Microsoft has announced that support and
download availablity for the VS2005 version is stopped as of today. And I
have 2008 already installed because of another project.

Thanks Adam for your reply

   Yes, that sounds like a good change to make. Would you be willing
   to file a bug at http://webkit.org/new-bug (and maybe even make a
   patch)?


I'll file the bug, I can create the patch but it will take some time as I
haven't worked much with perl.

Regards,
Angrez
