Updated build instructions

[Vasantha Crabb]

I decided to have a go at building the latest for Snow Leopard (just for personal use), but the instructions here are apparently outdated - it says at the top that modified GCC 6 is required, but provides no hints on how to use it. I have MacPorts GCC 6 and clang 5 installed. Is it possible to use one of these compilers to build WebKit?

Also, assuming I can follow the instructions and build WebKit and Security projects (the instructions look kinda scary), how do I go about using them? I don't see a simple set of steps for what to do with the build products.

(Sorry if the questions are dumb.)

Trying to follow the instructions for building the Security framework, I can't seem to get the projects to find their headers.

The first problem I run into is failure to install headers for libsecurity_comcryption and libsecurity_cryptkit (note that these are the two subprojects where the instructions specify to checkout trunk rather than a tag). I get this kind of error for beoth of them:

xcodebuild: Warning: configuration Deployment is not in the project.  Building default configuration.

I can build libsecurity_utilities, but any dependnt project fails to build. I think the failure to build libsecurity_comcryption and friends might be the root cause of it, but I'm not sure what to do about it. Should I be checking out a tag rather than trunk?

Those missing files should be created by applying the patch. Maybe you forgot to use '--strip 3' instead of '--strip 2'?
