Bug 104739 – Add instructions on how to build WebKit on Xcode 4 to build.html

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: WebKit Website

[Ryosuke Niwa]

Apparently we need to change the workspace setting or else WebKit doesn’t build.

Wouldn't this result in a configuration in which the world will rebuild when you switch between building via the command-line and in Xcode?

Can you please use similar wording as on <http://www.webkit.org/building/debug.html>

I thought this just sets the same target location for both builds.  Wouldn't that actually prevent having to do a full rebuild when switching from command-line to Xcode?

Nit: XCode => Xcode

I was confusing the top level "Relative" setting for Derived Data with the "Relative" sub-option of the "Custom" setting (because that's not at all a confusing way for Xcode to express things :-/).

Yeah, it’s very confusing :(

> +<p>To build from within Xcode, you can use the WebKit workspace. Ensure that the Products and Intermediates locations for the workspace match those used by <code>build-webkit</code> by choosing File > Workspace Settings and clicking the Advanced button, selecting Custom, Relative to Workspace, and entering WebKitBuild both for Products and for Intermediates. Note that if you have specified a custom build location in Xcode preferences, then you don&rsquo;t need to do this.</p>

I wish there was a way to repurpose the text that is in common with <http://www.webkit.org/building/debug.html> so that we we would not have to duplicate it.

Yeah. I think we should re-organize the website at some point.
