Hi,

I downloaded the source and got the SLN file. I'm not able to build it getting loads of errors. One common error was " Error 8 fatal error C1189: #error :  "Please use a newer version of Visual Studio. WebKit requires VS2013 or newer to compile." I need to build this in VS2008 for WinCE devices .Any help on how to build this project successfully would be appreciated.

Hi,

if you want to compile with VS2008 you need to check out an older version of WebKit. New versions of WebKit use new C++11 features, which are not supported by VS2008. Best way is to find a revision where the VS2005 solution files have been still present and then find a working version for WinCE. WebKit is developing fast which can result on (small) build errors on the smaller ports.

I have the same issue,

According to Patrick, we should use an older webkit version for compilation with VS2008 WinCE, where can we find such an older version?
Or is it possible to compile for WinCE 6 or WinCE 7 using VS2013?

Any help appreciated,
Marc,

Hi,

Same issue here, according to Patrick we should use an older version of webkit to build under VS2008 for WinCE. Has anyone an idea where we can find such an older version.
Or is it possible to build under VS2013 for WinCE 6 or WinCE 7

Any help appreciated,
Marc,
