Download WebKit

WebKit 1.6.1 (download webkit-1.6.1.tar.gz or svn webkit-1.6)

Compile with debug mode

This mode seems to require a lot of ram in order to generate the library.

You better install the GNU gold linker:

sudo apt-get install binutils-gold


./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --enable-introspection --enable-debug --disable-webgl
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-introspection --enable-debug --disable-webgl
make && sudo make install

Normal compilation


./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-introspection --disable-webgl
make && sudo make install
