WebKit AppleWin port failed to build due to ("PlatformImageCG.cpp(29,10): error C1083" and "CoreFoundation.lib : error LNK1181") on windows with MSVC. It can be reproduced on master branch latest commit https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/commit/623fee9. Could you please help take a look at this? Thanks in advance!

Thank you very much for reporting a bug.
I'm assuming you want to build AppleWin port, not WinCairo port.

WebKitRequirementsWin64.zip is only for WinCairo port. Don't use it for AppleWin build.
