Because I cannot run the command in Step2 - The WebKit repository contains all the WebKit ports, including of course the GTK port. If you only want to build WebKitGTK, and not planning to do development work on WebKitGTK itself, I would recommend using the tarballs for stable releases. You can find all the releases at the following address: https://webkitgtk.org/releases/ At the moment of writing, version 2.24.1 is the most recent release. > Download and build all JHBuild modules: > > $ Tools/Scripts/update-webkitgtk-libs > > The command cannot run in the code in the release tarball because there is > no folder "Scripts" within it. Hence the code from SVN is required. The “Scripts/” subdirectory from the WebKit repository contains tools for developers, and in general are not needed for making a release build. When building from a tarball, you use CMake [1] directly. The typical build process would be the following for 2.24.1, assuming that you already have the tarball downloaded: % tar -xJf webkitgtk-2.24.1.tar.xz % mkdir build && cd $_ % cmake -GNinja -DPORT=GTK -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ../webkitgtk-2.24.1 % ninja && ninja install I hope this helps :) Regards, —Adrian --- [1] https://cmake.org
