It was very helpful. Just wanted to alert future audience that, even if they have cygwin already installed, they should use the cygwin as provided in webkit repo (http://svn.webkit.org/repository/webkit/trunk/WebKitTools/CygwinDownloader/cygwin-downloader.zip) as pointed by you, to be certain about the dependencies. I am using Windows 7 and had cygwin already installed, I killed about 3 hours to know that there is some issue with my cygwin. Downloading the one from webkit's repo fixed the issue immediately. The error I was seeing was weird, "Cannot write to file...". Arbitrarily some of the basic file operations were failing, when tried the webkit-update. Anyways, the moral is stick to every step as documented, you will have your own webkit with fewer hassles. Thanks once again for this post. +ramki Hi Loune,

It's a very basic win32 web browser.
