disable the png support for first.
packages curl, openssl and tre are necessary, as i realise they are going to be statically linked. im stuck even with the first since it doesnt get located even if i installed the developer support (strangely curl -V had not any effect) and then i repeteadly installed it with apt-get. apparently its not withing pkg-config patch.
when trying to compile 2.0 mui frontend for aros i had these libraries avaliable as amiga shared libraries and i wasnt building within netsurf build system so all i need was to point to the aros includes. i wonder what would be best to do here.
i imagine none has yet tried to crosscompile netsurf for os4 or amiga on linux, so yet some decissions need to be taken. for instance i hope that aros gcc 4.6.3 68k backend could be usable for compiling amiga binaries, but im not certain and im not sure if the binaries even if they work will be performing well, due to register handling, which seems to be difficult with late gcc versions. otherwise the gcc 4.5.0 i know of, is a version for cygwin.
another option would be try to compile natively under cubicide with the 3.6.x or whatever it was, but i dont have it here with me and it always proven even more difficult, at least in my case.
btw. chris, if i am hijacking the thread and you prefer to keep it in the old one sorry, ill refrain to that.
