WebKit Compiler

[Jimmie]

I worked out how to compile WebKit and make it to work - or almost, in Linux. Tested in Ubuntu Intrepid. Just...copy-paste the following code, save it as "compiler.sh" in your directory (in a good one. It will create tons of cache files, etc in it.) and run it in terminal. You might need to Right Click -> Options -> Permissions -> Allow running as a program. First.

Now, keep in mind that:

1. This WILL download a NIGHTLY RELEASE from WebKit's SubRepositories. Means, its either an Alpha, or Beta. Its not stable. Use it ON YOUR OWN RISK.
2. It requires GTK, and tons of Libraries to work. The script installs them, and it might take like 100MBs.
3. The script will get the nightly build, right? It takes 300MBs. So, keep that in mind.
4. This has lots of bugs. See below
   

Okay, if you readed that, cool. Next List:
BUG LIST

• The page won't load if you didn't type http:// in the address bar, before the URL.
• The Web Inspector is still not implemented.
• Lack of features. Not a bug, but...
  

Okay, now, Run this in terminal. Save it before you do.
Be prepared that it may take 3-4 hours to compile.

Version 1.0.0, Revision 21 Released
This adds side notes in the terminal so you can keep track of the process.

This only affects new users - Features in webkit are not touched nor changed. If you're using an earlier build of my WebKit Compiler (Revision 20) there are no changes. But here's an changelog incase you want it.
