Building

Step-1 : Installing Development Tool Reference the Installing Development Tools section below.

https://webkit.org/webkit-on-windows/#installing-developer-tools

• Recommend to locate "C:/GnuWin32" instead of "C:/Program Files (x86)/GnuWin32" directory when installing Bison, Flex and GPerf. Because you can meet errors like "error calling gperf failed" when compiling WebCoreDerivedSources.

Step-2 : Generating Visual Studio Solution files

• using command-line

cd webkit
mkdir WebKitBuild
cd WebKitBuild
cmake -G "Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64" -D PORT=WinCairo ..

• using CMake-gui

3-1) Select sling/webkit directory in "Where is the source code" field.
     Input sling/webkt/WebKitBuild directory name in "Where to build the binaries" field.
3-2) Modify PORT name to "WinCairo".
3-3) Click Configure button.
3-4) If the configure is done, Click Generate button.

Step-3 : Build

• Open webkit.sln in WebKitBuild
• Build Solution x64 Debug/Release.

Step-4 : Launch MiniBrowser
