Hi,

When I try to build WebKit I'm getting the following error:

chris@New-MacBook~/Desktop/Programming/gtk/gtk+_test_4$ jhbuild build WebKit

Any idea what's going on. I'm running OSX 10.9.4.

We've done something like that to generate reports in GnuCash for years, and the WebKit module (in gtk-osx-unsupported-modules) is tailored for just that purpose. If your app builds and runs correctly in Linux it should do in Gtk-OSX as well once you add WebKit as a dependency to your application's module.
