    7 WebKitGTK+ often requires very recent versions of some core packages like glib and libsoup. To ease building and getting tests to match the results in the buildbots we have a built-in jhbuild-based system that automatically builds and uses those packages. You can look at the configuration and modules file in the '''Tools/gtk''' directory, and the script that is run to update the dependencies is '''Tools/Scripts/update-webkitgtk-libs'''. Following is a list of Debian packages necessary for building WebKitGTK+.

    517To get the WebKitGTK+ source, please follow the instructions on the [http://webkit.org/building/checkout.html WebKit page]. Many WebKit developer also use git to interact with the repository and the WebKit developer tools have strong support for git. [http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/UsingGitWithWebKit] contains tips for using git with WebKit.

     60    * JHBuild configuration and module files are stored as `Tools/gtk/jhbuildrc` and `Tools/gtk/jhbuild.modules`.
     61    * If everything builds properly tests should typically pass on your system. Please file a bug if they do not.

    67 To build a debug build of WebKitGTK+ (which will contain debugging symbols useful for generating stack traces), you can pass the `--debug` argument to build-webkit. This will build WebKit in WebKitBuild/Debug and all other scripts should take the `--debug` argument as well.

Although you can build with these features enabled, it doesn't mean that the functionality is complete, let alone working properly.
