| | 3 | In Linux, you can build either Gdk port or Qt port. Gdk, QT port means the GUI browser is implemented using those libraries. So, These ports need external dependent libraries pre-installed on the system to get build. NOTE: Gdk and QT port share the external dependencies. |

| | 5 | == Dependencies == |
| | 6 | |
| | 7 | Check ["BuildingGdk" http://trac.webkit.org/projects/webkit/wiki/BuildingGdk] and ["BuildingQT" http://trac.webkit.org/projects/webkit/wiki/QtWebKit] to get a more detailed compilation steps. |
| | 8 | |
| | 9 | == Easy steps == |
| | 10 | |
| | 11 | === Build Gdk Port === |
| | 12 | |
| | 13 | * Checkout the main trunk from SVN. It will take atleast 2 hrs to get this complete. |
| | 14 | |
| | 15 | |
| | 16 | {{{ |
| | 17 | $ svn co http://svn.webkit.org/repository/webkit/trunk WebKit |
| | 18 | }}} |
| | 19 | |
| | 20 | * The checkout is around 1.1GB of size and after build it grows to 1.5GB. |
| | 21 | |
| | 22 | * While SVN checkout is going on, you time save by issuing the following command in a new terminal to install the external dependencies required for the Gdk port to be build, |
| | 23 | |
| | 24 | |
| | 25 | {{{ |
| | 26 | |
| | 27 | In Fedora, |
| | 28 | |
| | 29 | # yum install qt4 qt4-devel gperf sqlite-devel bison flex libxslt gtk+ libicu-devel libjpeg-devel libsqlite3-devel |
| | 30 | |
| | 31 | In Debain/Ubuntu, Not sure ;) |
| | 32 | |
| | 33 | # apt-get install qt4 qt4-devel gperf sqlite-devel bison flex libxslt gtk+ libicu-devel libjpeg-devel libsqlite3-devel |
| | 34 | |
| | 35 | In Gentoo, will not work.. some body can check ;) |
| | 36 | |
| | 37 | # emerge qt4 qt4-devel gperf sqlite-devel bison flex libxslt gtk+ libicu-devel libjpeg-devel libsqlite3-devel |
| | 38 | |
| | 39 | |
| | 40 | NOTE: Some packages given in the above command may be already got installed by default. All the above packages are requirement for the Gdk port to get compiled. |
| | 41 | |
| | 42 | }}} |
| | 43 | |
| | 44 | * Export path variable using the command, |
| | 45 | |
| | 46 | |
| | 47 | {{{ |
| | 48 | $ export QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt4 |
| | 49 | $ export PATH=$QTDIR/bin:$PATH |
| | 50 | }}} |
| | 51 | |
| | 52 | |
| | 53 | * Build WebKit and the Gdk test browser with |
| | 54 | |
| | 55 | {{{ |
| | 56 | WebKit/WebKitTools/Scripts/build-webkit --gdk --default |
| | 57 | }}} |
| | 58 | |
| | 59 | * Testing the port |
| | 60 | |
| | 61 | A very simple test browser is built at |
| | 62 | |
| | 63 | {{{ |
| | 64 | WebKit/WebKitBuild/Debug/WebKitTools/GdkLauncher/GdkLauncher |
| | 65 | }}} |
| | 66 | |
| | 67 | === Building QT port === |
| | 68 | |
| | 69 | The same procedure upto build steps. After that use the following command, |
| | 70 | |
| | 71 | * Build WebKit and the Gdk test browser with |
| | 72 | |
| | 73 | {{{ |
| | 74 | WebKit/WebKitTools/Scripts/build-webkit --gdk --default |
| | 75 | }}} |
| | 76 | |
| | 77 | * Testing the port |
| | 78 | |
| | 79 | A very simple test browser is built at |
| | 80 | |
| | 81 | {{{ |
| | 82 | WebKit/WebKitBuild/Release/WebKitQt/QtLauncher/QtLauncher |
| | 83 | }}} |
| | 84 | |
