-== Building ==
 
-=== Workaround #1 - for missing Qt Headers ===
-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):
+== Build WebKit ==
+First follow the instructions [QtWebKitContrib there to get the sources]. The Qt port is part of the WebKit source tree, so you don't need anything extra.
+
+Finally, set the QTDIR environment variable to Qt 4.x's installation path and make sure Qt 4.x's qmake is the first qmake in your PATH (typically by running `export PATH=$QTDIR/bin:$PATH`). If your qmake binary has a different name, e.g. when using Debian, use the --qmake= option to specify the name.

+Build WebKit and the Qt test browser with

+WebKit/WebKitTools/Scripts/build-webkit --qt

-=== Workaround #2 - for flex tokenizer.cpp generation problem ===
-Next start the build:
+`build-webkit` (see above) also supports special variable for specifying the OBJDIR directory, as well as some configure and build arguments

-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:
