    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 it build.
     3WebKit has two ports which support Linux systems.

    23  * The checkout is around 1.1GB (depends on SVN client used) and after build it adds 600 MB.
    24 
    25  * 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,

    43  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.
