Hi Roger,

Do you have any updates worth sharing? Have you had a chance to create the needed parts for a 64 bit Ubuntu?

Cheers

Still working on CEF investigation.

not yet ... just rebuilding and packaging will do. Will keep you posted
here. Or you may want to build it from source in 64bit ubuntu yourself
before that:

I just pulled down the source to do as you suggest and noticed the huge size (over 3.1 GB for the .git directory) of the repo due to accumulated history. I guess you just forked WebKit and kept it all, but it might be reasonable to not carry all that baggage around. What do you think? Some people might be discouraged from trying to hack on this this due to the long download time and large size.

You are right, and that's why binary packages are provided. Currently
packages are provided only for Debian sid and Ubuntu 11.10 and 11.04
i386. We are trying to set up infrastructure to build for more
distributions and architectures automatically but that's not ready for
now.

We keep the whole WebKit repo to work with upstream and do rebasing
regularly. For those who don't care the development much, a shallow
clone can be done to save some bandwidth, or download the latest commit
as a tarball from github.

btw, the webkit should be built at least with the following configurations:

./autogen.sh --with-jsengine=v8 --enable-nodejs-build --with-gtk=2.0

Hello,

64bit binaries were just uploaded for Ubuntu oneiric. You can add the
following line to your sources.list:

deb http://libwebkitnode.s3.amazonaws.com/ oneiric/

Thanks
