After building these codes in Visual C++ 2005 Express successfully, i want to debug them step by step in Visual C++ 2005 Express.Firstly I execute the script 'webkit/webkittools/scripts/run-safari --debug' in cygwin and get the following output:
"Your copy of safari is missing important software resources. Please reinstall Safari"
then I try to download the latest version from web and reinstall it, but the error still exists.
I try the same steps in another computer.it works fine. I do not know why. the operation system and the environment are the same.
I launch safari in another computer using script 'run-safari --debug', then i open Visual C++ 2005 Express and set debug attach to safari process. and i also set some break points in the codes. but it does not work. how can i do if i want to debug these codes step by step? thank you very much.

Isn't there a debug-safari script for that? Not sure if it's expected to work on Windows though.

"run-safari --debug" means "run Safari using the Debug version of WebKit that I've built". If you did a Release build instead of a Debug build, it won't work.

It is expected to work on Windows.
Another option is to follow the instructions here: http://webkit.org/building/debug.html
