Installing WebWorx requires a couple of steps before installing WebKit. (WebKit is available separately or can be purchased as part of WebWorx. This manual serves both.)
Install your Linux or other Unix. In the case of WebWorx,
we include Linux Pro, and the installation in most cases can be done by
following the directions on the face of the CD-ROM. If you have DOS, and
room for a Linux filesystem on your machine, type D:INSTALL
,
assuming that your CD-ROM is drive D. Otherwise see
README.TXT
on the Linux Pro CD-ROM for further instructions.
Make sure you install the full development system and libraries,
including these:
Install FlagShip. To do this you need a "key" document from your FlagShip vendor; most of the time this document is sent on request, not included in the package purchased.
The FlagShip package is on the Linux Pro CD-ROM, but a newer version may
come on a separate CD-ROM. You need to mount the correct CD-ROM using a
command like mount -v -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
, as root.
Then type /mnt/cdrom/FSinstCD
, select "ELF Full Version,"
and install. When entering the key, make sure you type every character
exactly as it appears on the key, including ending periods, and being
careful of upper/lower case. (This is probably the hardest part of the
whole FlagShip installation!)
As root, decompress the WebKit archive file and untar it:
gunzip -c webkit-b.tgz | tar xvf -
. If you have a recent
GNU tar you can do it in one step without the pipe: tar xvfz
webkit-b.tgz
.
Then run ./install.sh
, answering the questions about
usernames and directory paths as you go. Then stop being root.
The installation procedure should copy the archive contents to the
locations you specified with the correct ownership and permissions.
It will also create Makefile.webkit
in the directory you
specified for examples as well as /etc/webkit.conf
. Both
of these files include setup information that you specified.
The installation procedure also runs make
on the examples
directory you specified. If everything is in place, the build will
complete normally.
