    1111== Building from within Visual Studio ==
    1212WebKit can be built from within Visual Studio by setting two environment variables:
    13  * {{{WEBKITOUTPUTDIR}}} - An absolute Windows-style path pointing to the directory where you want the build products to go.
    14  * {{{WEBKITLIBRARIESDIR}}} - An absolute Windows-style path pointing to the WebKitLibraries/win folder in your WebKit checkout.
     13 * {{{WEBKIT_OUTPUTDIR}}} - An absolute Windows-style path pointing to the directory where you want the build products to go.
     14 * {{{WEBKIT_LIBRARIES}}} - An absolute Windows-style path pointing to the WebKitLibraries/win folder in your WebKit checkout.
    1515These environment variables should be set for you the first time you run {{{update-webkit}}}.

    1717== Common Build Errors ==
    18 === Error spawning cmd.exe / Linker errors ===
    19 Sometimes, Visual Studio complains that it 'cannot spawn cmd.exe'. Should this happen, check if both your Cygwin\bin folder and c:\windows\sytem32 are in the Visual Studio list of executable files (Tools -> Options -> VC++ Directories) and that your Cygwin\bin appears after the Visual Studio bin folders (Otherwise, the wrong link.exe will be used; that is, the Cygwin link.exe will be used instead of the Visual Studio tool of the same name).
    2018=== Missing Autogenerated Files ===
    2119If you have the Visual Studio IDE open while you are performing an {{{update-webkit}}}, you can sometimes run into a strange problem where Visual Studio is unable to locate the autogenerated files.  These files are usually things like HTMLNames.cpp, which are generated by Perl as part of the WebCoreGenerated target.

    2523=== Bad line endings ===
    2624When you see errors in WebCore/css/makeprops or WebCore/css/maketokenizer, open those files in a suitable editor (SciTE works) and convert the line endings to LF only (Unix-style). Then restart the build.

    28 === Visual Studio 2005 ===
    29 
    30 Early versions of Visual Studio 2005 are [http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?FeedbackID=101120 missing the library 'Crypt32.lib']. A workaround is to download and install the [http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=0baf2b35-c656-4969-ace8-e4c0c0716adb&displaylang=en Windows Server 2003 R2 Platform SDK] then copy the file 'Crypt32.lib' from the directory C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2\Lib to %VSINSTALLDIR%\VC\PlatformSDK\Lib.
