WebKit Speeds up Safari
Who else has been using the new open source WebKit:

I checked out the code and built it two days ago, and I've been using it, for Safari ever since. Safari is mega fast now. I've never had a browsing experience this enjoyable.

yeah for us lazy bastards
total noob question: can you create a universal binary [powerpc|intel] when compiling webKit, you know, might as well start now...???

Come on guys...please? I wiped my HD (after accumulating junk for 2.5 years) to install 10.4 and start fresh but I don't want to install 900MB-worth of dev tools just to compile this thing.
dev tools have some fun stuff like quartz composer
and dashboard widgety stuff
Oh you're mean.
So yeah...someone give us an iDisk address so we don't need to install the dev tools!

note the 412+
um.. so i succesfully built it , don't know how y'all without xcode and cvs tools and scripts might run it (replacing the webkit.framework) or something
anyway i'll try and post a .dmg of all the stuff it put into my custom build directory when it compiled...
http://homepage.mac.com/sunilraman/WebKitBuild.dmg
umm... hopefully someone else will be able to point out what you would do with that if you don't have xCode.
OMFG Dashboard is much much faster now...!! or is my mind playing tricks on me

built with xcode 2.1 on iBook 933mhz g4 256mb ram tiger 10.4.1
I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY WHATSOEVER ON WHATEVER YOU DO WITH SAID .DMG FILE ABOVE

dude, like i said, if you just download it, i dont know what to do.
but if you install the developer tools from the tiger disk. then i can help.
0. trash the .dmg file you downloaded from my link above
1. install all dev tools from tiger disk
2. follow these instructions to get source code
http://webkit.opendarwin.org/building/checkout.html
3. follow these instructions to build the webkit
http://webkit.opendarwin.org/building/build.html
4. follow these instructions to run safari using new code
"Once the frameworks are built, you'll probably want to run Safari using the newly-built WebKit. To do that, use the run-safari script.
WebKitTools/Scripts/run-safari"
i am a developer noobie too, i somehow got lucky and it all worked
the key to everything is installing xcode from tiger dvd, and typing commands in Terminal.app as directed in those webpages above. (point 2 and 3 and 4)
good luck mate
