Hi webkit-dev,

I'm trying to study the structure of web browsers in general and WebKit specifically for academic purposes. I found that using language servers that index compile_commands.json (clangd, ccls etc.) is a very good solution to navigate source code of extremely large projects, such as WebKit.

Unfortunately, I was only able to get compile_commands.json generated when I compiled with --jsc-only where the build is executed using cmake and not the perl script. Trying to pass --cmake as a build argument to build-webkit causes the build to fail pretty early for missing files (that I believe aren't open source).

To wrap it up, I wonder if there's a way to compile WebKit as a browser (and not just JavaScriptCore) and have compile_commands.json generated?

Thanks,
