Building WinCairo following readme fails due to path issues

[iangrunert]

Following the README to build failed, it wasn't able to find MSVC. Instead of creating the devenv.com file, I ran:

C:\MSVS\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvars64.bat

to set the appropriate environment variables to use MSVC on the command line which unblocked the build. Should I submit a PR to update the README?

Mine failed even earlier, because svn isn't included in the image.

Sadly, even after installing svn and getting checked out, I wasn't able to compile due to a missing WebKitSupportLibrary.zip. Every link on the internet (including Webkit's own guide) points you at: https://developer.apple.com/opensource/internet/webkit_sptlib_agree.html

which no longer exists. Having had a trawl through internet archive, I was able to find that submitting the form that was there would result in a POST:

curl 'https://developer.apple.com/file/' -X POST \
 -H 'User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/119.0' \

 -H 'Pragma: no-cache' \
 -H 'Cache-Control: no-cache' \
 -H 'TE: trailers' --data-raw 'file=webkitsupportlibrary&agree=Yes'

which also no longer works. So I gave up trying to build webkit at that point.

Good luck, future travellers.

WebKitSupportLibrary.zip was only for the deprecated Apple Windows port.
https://docs.webkit.org/Ports/WindowsPort.html is the current document.

Thanks! Googling 'compile webkit on Windows' brings me to this doc and this doc, which definitely causes some confusion.

Updated README at #367 which would hopefully resolve this @iangrunert
