Bug 17484 – Add Windows (Cairo) support in WebKit.dll

• Component: WebKit Misc.
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Brent Fulgham]

A small number or routines in the WebKit API classes assume a CoreGraphics backend.  This patch conditionalizes these regions of the code to allow a Cairo-based WebKit.dll to be built.

Patch to conditionalize some CG/Cairo calls in WebKit proper.

Good general direction. Some comments:

 #include "config.h"
+#include "NotImplemented.h"
 #include "WebDragClient.h"

This is wrong. The first include after "config.h" should be the file's own header "WebDragClient.h". There should be a blank line after that before the rest of the includes.

+#else
+    notImplemented ();
+#endif

No space before the parenthesis.

 void WebFrame::dispatchDidReceiveAuthenticationChallenge(DocumentLoader* loader, unsigned long identifier, const AuthenticationChallenge& challenge)
 {
+#if USE(CFNETWORK)

Not answering the challenge at all will simply make the browser hang. You should probably do something better than that. Or is there some reason this is OK?

+#if PLATFORM(CG)

It seems strange to just conditionalize the printing code without adding a call to notImplemented(). How is this different from the createDragImage case?

+#if !PLATFORM(CAIRO)
 #if !defined(NDEBUG) && defined(USE_DEBUG_SAFARI_THEME)

I think this is backwards. It should be #if PLATFORM(CG), since SafariTheme relies on CG. In the future we might need to add a conditional about whether SafariTheme is being included, since someone with CG still might not want SafariTheme. I definitely don't think that "CAIRO" is a good way to say "no SafariTheme".

The purpose of WebKitGraphics is to give a way to draw text if you can't compile C++ code. There's no reason to have it if the context is a WebCore::GraphicsContext object. I suggest leaving these functions out entirely for non-CG platforms.

Tweak for current SVN

Not intending this for review.  Just making it available for other windows porters.

Configuration Patches for Cairo build.

Changes to configurations needed to build under Cairo.

[Brent Fulgham]

The main set of patches (the 26.62 KB patch) works around various build errors in WebKit.dll.  The COM stuff makes heavy use of Apple-specific libraries, which must be commented out.

The small patch (965 bytes) just modifies the configuration as necessary to build.

[Brent Fulgham]

I have placed a tarball of the requirements to build WebKit (Cairo) here:  http://web.me.com/bfulgham/Site/Downloads.html.

[Franco Lucchini]

I managed to build a version of webkit completely independent from CoreGraphics.
It wasn't difficult, because i just closed all the #include CoreGraphics/* in an #if PLATFORM(CG) directive.
That way I built a WinLauncher executable that doesn't require CoreGraphics.dll.

I did the same for the CFNetwork library, but I wonder how to replace the CFURLCache mechanism implemented in WebView.cpp.
Any idea?

Eventually I will post a patch containing my modifications.

Small update that enables the scroll/pan function (i.e., click mouse wheel, then mouse movement becomes scroll).

No longer includes visual studio changes, as these are part of the main tree now.

Much of this patch is a duplicate of 23092.  Once that patch is approved and landed this patch will nearly go away.

Current patch.  Boy it's small now that the CFNetwork stuff is in place!

[Joonghoon Kim]

New patch (2009-05-29) prevents for all ports from including winsock. 
In WebCore/config.h, the code to define _WINSOCKAPI_ should be moved 
into #if PLATFORM(WIN) ~ #endif that defines WTF_USE_CURL. And every file
that includes curl.h should include winsock2.h before. 

WebCore/HistoryPropertyList.h should be copied into WEBKITOUTPUTDIR. 

I think it's better to use some environmental variable (as $PRODUCTION) 
than use config.h only. WebCorePrefix.h includes CoreServices.h but CF-Lite 
doesn't have it.

This omission has been corrected in @r44434.

This change has been landed in @r45630.

All elements of the Windows Cairo software, build system, and configuration are now part of WebKit proper.  I am closing this issue now that all sub-issue work is complete.

Thanks to everyone for their help!
