     * Run the script {{{debug-webkit-patch-sbsv2.py}}} from [git://gitorious.org/qtwebkit/tools.git]. It was tested to work at least with Python 2.6[[BR]] This is necessary because the quantity of debug information in WebKit makes armlink fail. This script works around the problem.

-== Running a Browser on device/emulator ==
-If you have problems starting your favourite browser (Anomaly/QtLauncher) on Symbian HW, here are some choices to remember: 
-     * Use '''QtLauncher''' that ships inside Webkit.org trunk to build your test browser. You don't have to worry about exports and .DEF files in this case. 
-     * To use '''Anomaly''' from $QTSRC/demos/embedded/, you may have to update the .DEF files known to the Qt installation to make Anomaly work OK. [[BR]] To do so , recompile QtWebkit.dll by passing an additional argument to the {{{build-webkit}}} script and re-deploy to device. [[BR]] {{{--qmake-arg="CONFIG+=def_files"}}}
