Bug 23285 – Unable to build webkit

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: INVALID
• Component: Accessibility

[Sankar Aditya Tanguturi]

I am facing few issues during WebKit build.

I am using Windows XP SP3 Machine. I have installed Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 and also installed Service Pack1 for Visual Studio 2005. I have got 2GB RAM and 5GB free space in Hard Drive.

<error>
Creating library...
C:\cygwin\home\Sankar Tanguturi\WebKit\WebKitBuild\lib\WebCore.lib : fatal error

</error>

Because of the above error, winLanuncher was not successfully built.

I tried invoking the command "build-webkit --debug" in debug mode. Still, I couldn't resolve the issue. I am wondering why this problem arises though I have sufficient available free space in my hard drive.

Before building WebKit, I have also invoked the following command.
C:\cygwin\bin\ash -c /bin/rebaseall. But, it didn't work.

I know this is not right place to discuss about build issues. I am not able to connect to IRC channel. So, I am logging this bug. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Please do not use Bugzilla for support with building.  It is fine if there is an error in the code that is preventing you from building, but if it's an issue with your environment you should use #webkit on irc.freenode.net or the webkit-dev mailing list.
