How to build WebKit on iPhone?

I have built WebKit on Mac, but I want to build it on iPhone.

Should I convert Cocoa framework to CocoaTouch framework?

Like NSView to UIView?

or any other functions?

There are certainly going to be things not directly translatable from Cocoa to UIKit. Yes the core of Webkit is mostly platform-independent C++, however, all the nice views will require a lot more work than just class replacement. More than just internal mechanics, you also have to deal with completely redesigning the views for the iOS interface--handling touches for scrolling and zooming, getting input forms and text selection to work with the system-wide text protocols, etc.

Unless you have to do something ridiculously complicated, just stick with UIWebView.
