    I could *probably* provide a ppm package for this once I get webkit built. You can get the pre-requisite Gtk2-perl (and it's pre-requisites) by doing:
    ppm repo add sisyphusion ppm install Gtk2
    I've had a bit of a look at building a Gtk2-WebLink ppm package, but building the pre-requisite weblink library is not as straight forward as one would like, and I'm a bit short of time for the next couple of days.
    Are there windows binaries for the webkit library available somewhere ? (That would probably speed things up a bit.)

    Cheers,

      "Are there windows binaries for the webkit library available somewhere ? (That would probably speed things up a bit."

      The nightlies are available. Building on Windows may also be of interest.

        My immedaiate reaction is that none of that looks very promising, unfortunately - some mention of cygwin and Visual Studio on the wiki, but nothing pertaining specifically to MinGW/MSYS, and no sign of any import libs or header files in the "nightlies".

        Please set me straight if I've gone off half-cocked and missed something :-)

        Cheers,
