+These instructions assume you are building on an OSX system with Mac Ports installed having the qt4-mac (4.5.2) port installed.
+
+== Checkout the Code ==
+You'll need to check out WebKit from SVN or Qt WebKit from Git
+{{{
+svn checkout http://svn.webkit.org/repository/webkit/trunk WebKit # WebKit SVN Trunk
+}}}
+'''OR'''
+{{{
+git clone git://gitorious.org/qtwebkit/qtwebkit.git # Qt WebKit Git Branch
+}}}
+
+== Building ==
+
+=== Workaround #1 ===
+This works around the problem with Qt headers being reference directly from /usr/include regardless of where the QTDIR is (Fixes "''../../../WebKit/JavaScriptCore/wtf/unicode/qt4/UnicodeQt4.h:26:17: error: QChar: No such file or directory''" errors):
+{{{
+export QTDIR=/opt/local/libexec/qt4-mac # mac ports Qt
+cd /usr/include
+for q in $QTDIR/include/*; do if [ ! -e "`basename $q`" ]; then sudo ln -s "$q"; fi ; done # create a symlink
+}}}
+
+=== Workaround #2 ===
+Next start the build:
+{{{
+export WEBKITSRCDIR=qtwebkit # change this to 'WebKit' to build WebKit SVN Trunk
+export WEBKITOUTPUTDIR=`pwd`/${WEBKITSRCDIR}-build 
+${WEBKITSRCDIR}/WebKitTools/Scripts/build-webkit --qt --qmake=qmake-4.5 --makeargs="-j2" -spec macx-g++ --no-video --debug
+}}}
+
+The build will ultimately fail with an error message "''Undefined symbols: "WebCore::CSSParser::lex()", referenced from: WebCore::CSSParser::lex(void*)in CSSParser.o''" when it attempts to link the binaries, to fix that we run the flex make target by hand and copy the result into the build output drectory:  
+{{{
+cd ${WEBKITSRCDIR}/WebCore
+rm tokenizer.cpp 
+WebCore=. make -f DerivedSources.make tokenizer.cpp
+mv tokenizer.cpp ${WEBKITOUTPUTDIR}/Debug/WebCore/generated/debug/tokenizer.cpp
+}}}
+
+=== Finish Up and Run ===
+Rerunning the build should recompile CSSParser.cpp and link correctly.
+{{{
+${WEBKITSRCDIR}/WebKitTools/Scripts/build-webkit --qt --qmake=qmake-4.5 --makeargs="-j2" -spec macx-g++ --no-video --debug
+}}}
+
+Finally start the demo Qt browser: 
+{{{
+${WEBKITSRCDIR}/WebKitTools/Scripts/run-launcher --qt --debug # After this, check the dock and you'll see Qt icon ...
+}}}
+
