    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+.
    8 
    9  * autoconf
    10  * automake
    11  * autotools-dev
    12  * bison (>= 2.4.1)
    13  * flex
    14  * gail-3.0
    15  * gawk
    16  * gperf
    17  * gtk-doc-tools
    18  * libenchant-dev
    19  * libgail-dev
    20  * libgail-3-dev
    21  * libgeoclue-dev
    22  * libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev (>= 0.10.30)
    23  * libgtk3.0-dev

    25  * libicu-dev
    26  * libgl1-mesa-glx
    27  * libgl1-mesa-dev
    28  * libjpeg62-dev
    29  * libpango1.0-dev (>= 1.16)

    36 ''OS X: The code on Mac OS X should built like any Linux distribution, as long as you install the above build dependencies (in addition to an "ordinary build environment" that includes XCode Tools 2.3 or newer). [http://www.macports.org/ MacPorts] users can get the dependencies via:''
    37 {{{
    38 $ sudo port install webkit-gtk

    41 If you get an error about libjpeg when the build does the configuration step, you may find the following fixes it:
    42 {{{
    43 $ export CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/local/include"
    44 $ export LDFLAGS="-L/opt/local/lib"

    495== Getting the source ==
     
    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.

    61 This will build WebKit in the directory WebKitBuild/Release. Once the build finishes, you can run a simple demo browser by executing:

     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. Feel free to submit a bug at http://bugs.webkit.org if you find something that is not working.
