It is using Cairo for the graphics backend, libcurl for the network backend.

= Building on Windows =

As with [wiki:"BuildingOnWindows" Apple's Windows Port],
you must first follow [https://webkit.org/webkit-on-windows/#installing-development-tools the instructions] to install the necessary developer tools,
and check out the WebKit code.

In the top source directory, use 
{{{
perl Tools/Scripts/build-webkit --wincairo --release
}}}
to start the build.


== Building from within Visual Studio ==

Some environmental variables should be propagated to Visual Studio.

{{{
perl WebKit/Tools/Scripts/build-webkit --wincairo --release --generate-project-only
set WEBKIT_LIBRARIES=%cd%\WebKitLibraries\win
set WEBKIT_OUTPUTDIR=%cd%\WebKitBuild
devenv WebKitBuild\Release\WebKit.sln
}}}


== Running the tests ==

XAMPP should be installed in the default install path (c:\xampp).
Open a command prompt as administrator because http tests need to run Apache service.

{{{
set WEBKIT_LIBRARIES=%cd%\WebKitLibraries\win
set WEBKIT_OUTPUTDIR=%cd%\WebKitBuild
python Tools/Scripts/run-webkit-tests --release --wincairo --dump-render-tree
}}}

You can use Docker to run LayoutTests by mounting the host directory.

{{{
docker run -it --rm --cpu-count=8 --memory=16g -v %cd%:c:\repo -w c:\repo webkitdev/msbuild
}}}
