Webkit is the core of Apple Safari and KDE Konqueror browsers. As an excellent lightweight browser Layout Engine, Webkit has been supported by Qt. In the new Qt version 4.4, the WebKit engine has been integrated. next we will compile the Qt-based WebKit.

Dependencies

The following software is required to compile WebKit:

Qt version 4.3 or later.

Gperf.

Sqllite.

Bison.

Flex version 2.5.33 or later.

Libxslt.

Since I used the Fedora 8 platform, it was basically installed, and I only needed gperf and Qt.

Build Qt

Build WebKit preparation

Download WebKit source code from webkit.org

Http://nightly.webkit.org/files/trunk/src/WebKit-r29336.tar.bz2

Set the QTDIR environment variable, FC8 installed by default is Qt 3.3.8, the default QTDIR variable is set to/usr/lib/qt-3.3

QTDIR =/usr/lib/qt-3.3

We want to set the installation location for the new version of QT.

Here is/opt/QtX11-4.4-tp1/

Export QTDIR =/opt/QtX11-4.4-tp1/

You also need to talk about the qt-3.3.8 bin directory removed from the PATH, otherwise it will reference the qt-3.3.8's qmake caused by the failure to generate Makefile file File

Export PATH = $ QTDIR/bin: $ PATH

Compile

QTDIR =/opt/QtX11-4.4-tp1/./WebKitTools/Scripts/build-webkit

After a long wait, the QtLauncher will be generated under WebKitBuild/Release/bin.

Test

In xwindows

Cd WebKitBuild/Release/bin

./QtLauncher about: blank

./QtLauncher www.linuxidc.com

The display speed is very fast. Test sina. The Chinese display is normal. Success :)

Note:

Firefox is based on the Gecko engine for Web Page Layout

IE uses Trident as its webpage Layout Engine

Konqueror uses KHTML as the engine
