OK, I give up and am going to "ask for directions" I have a Windows Vista notebook computer on which I am trying to do a build for the first time. I am not new to programming after nearly 40 years of doing it, but this is my first exposure to WebKit. I downloaded the "Nightly builds" a few days ago as well as installing Cygwin, Visual Studio 2005 and the QT SDK. I then ran the build and it failed. I tried a few things and still could not get all builds to work. It seems it stops after 7 failures? because I get a different number of "succeeded" every time. The strange thing is that the results are never the same twice in a row even if I don't change anything. Yesterday I decided to download a new "Nightly builds" and unlike previous builds where there were quite a few "unable to find ____.h" type errors, this time there was only one. WinLauncher.cpp was looking for a ____COMAPI.h in the wrong path. I updated the source and ran the build again. This time there were no more "unable to find" type errors. I got "11 succeeded and 7 failed". The errors were "1 returned from cmd.exe" in 5 instances and 2 were link errors. I read more on the webkit.org website and saw where it said Safari was required on Windows systems, so I installed that, ran the build again and got fewer succeeded. I have not changed anything else I tried running the build with and without the --debug parameter and I never get the same results twice on any of the builds. One thing I am wondering about is the message that it is running at most 2 instances of cl.exe. Is it doing that because it thinks I have two CPU's? There is really only one but it emulates two. Is there a way to single thread running at most 1 instance of cl.exe to see if I can at least start getting consistent results? Or does anyone have a clue what else might be causing the build failures? Nick
