Hi. I am Kwang Yul Seo, chief computer scientist at Company 100, Inc.. Today I am happy to announce the WebKit SDL port.

You might wonder why we need another WebKit port because we already have many ports including Mac, Chromium, Qt and Gtk. The reason is simple. We need a simple port which uses skia as its graphics backend. Chromium port uses skia, but the code base of Chromium is quite complex and not easy to experiment new features.

Our team is working on multiple WebKit ports including Android NDK and Linux (STB/TV). We use skia for all the ports we have. Because it takes a long time to build and test on mobile and embedded devices, we needed a bare minimum desktop WebKit port which uses skia.

We’ve decided to open the source code so that the SDL users can embed WebKit in their applications. You can retrieve the source code from the following git repository:

git://www.dorothybrowser.com/WebKitSDL.git

You can build WebKit SDL both on Linux and Mac OS X. Because WebKit SDL depends on skia for graphics, you must build skia before you build WebKit.

To build skia, change the current working directory to Source/ThirdParty/skia.

cd Source/ThirdParty/skia

And make.

make

On Mac OS X, you must give “SKIA_BUILD_FOR=mac” as in the following:

make SKIA_BUILD_FOR=mac

The skia library (libskia.a) is generated under Source/ThirdParty/skia/out/.

Because WebKit SDL build script is written in cmake, you need cmake program to build WebKit SDL. Use -DPORT=SDL to specify the port.

mkdir WebKitBuild
cd WebKitBuild
cmake -DPORT=SDL ../Source

Now we have makefile generated in WebKitBuild directory. Build WebKit with make.

make

To build WebKit SDL in debug mode, pass “-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debug” as cmake command line arguments.

cmake -DPORT=SDL -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debug ../Source/

Once build is done, you can launch SDLLauncher. It is a simple test browser located under Tools/SDLLauncher.

./Programs/SDLWebLauncher
