I've build WebKit-r128959 successfully on Win7/VS2010, but now the source (WebKit-r161259) has changed a lot and my experience doesn't work any longer... I met this first error.
WebKitSupportLibrary is up-to-date.

Build FAILED.
I just don't understand why the path is (null) and why the devenv executable cannot find nmake. The following lines are the path variable in VS2010:
Path=C:\Program Files\Microsoft F#\v4.0\;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studi
o 10.0\VSTSDB\Deploy;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\;

Obviously it's not null. How can I fix the problem?
My build experience is as follow. See more at http://blog.csdn.net/lzl124631x/article/details/18098361
