Build a unstable WebKit base brwoser on Ubuntu 9.10(for test HTML 5 new features)

WebKitGtk+ Dependencies:

apt-get install autoconf automake libtool libgtk2.0-dev libpango1.0-dev libicu-dev libxslt-dev libsoup2.4-dev libsqlite3-dev gperf bison flex libjpeg62-dev libpng12-dev libxt-dev autotools-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev libenchant-dev libgail-dev gtk-doc-tools

(From http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/BuildingGtk)

 

On my Ubuntu 9.10, the libsoup2.4-1 is 2.28.1. So I must download it from http://packages.debian.org.

libsoup2.4-1:
http://packages.debian.org/sid/i386/libsoup2.4-1/download

libsoup2.4-dev:
http://packages.debian.org/sid/i386/libsoup2.4-dev/download

Get WebKit source code:

From http://nightly.webkit.org/ or checkout from SVN.

Compile WebKitGtk+:

1. Unzip source code.
   

   tar jxvf WebKit-r52751.tar.bz2

2. Configure.

   sudo ./autogen.sh --enable-shared-workers --enable-web-sockets

3. Make & install.

   sudo make
   sudo make install
   

Note: For my case, I need shared worker and web sockets features. So you can only use "sudo ./autogen.sh".

Get Epiphany source code:

Download source code from http://live.gnome.org/Epiphany/Downloads.

Compile Epiphany:

1. Unzip source code.
   

   tar jxvf epiphany-2.28.1.tar.bz2 

2. Configure.

   sudo ./configure --with-engine=webkit

3. Make & install.

   sudo make
   sudo make install
