NetSurf 3.3 released
« on: March 16, 2015, 02:29:14 PM »
NetSurf 3.3 is primarily a bug-fix release. Several of the front ends have received quite a bit of attention, with new features and improvements; notably the AmigaOS frontend has gained the beginnings of support for AmigaOS 3. We recommend all users upgrade.

since there is no report im not sure where it breaks up and why, certainly some solution for a valid crosscompiler will be neccessary, just currently trying to use the aros68k backend.

You have a typo in "TARGET", so it's just trying to build the GTK frontend again.

ach, embarassing..

so it remains as before:
Code: [Select]

wawa@debian:~/dev-netsurf/workspace/netsurf$ make TARGET=amigaos3
make: -dumpversion: Kommando nicht gefunden
expr: Syntaxfehler
M.CONFIG: JPEG (libjpeg) enabled       (NETSURF_USE_JPEG := YES)
M.CONFIG: PDF export (haru) disabled      (NETSURF_USE_HARU_PDF := NO)
M.CONFIG: glibc internal iconv disabled      (NETSURF_USE_LIBICONV_PLUG := NO)
PKG.CNFG: utf8proc (libutf8proc) enabled
PKG.CNFG: nsutils (libnsutils) enabled
M.CONFIG: Sprite (librosprite) disabled      (NETSURF_USE_ROSPRITE := NO)
M.CONFIG: BMP (libnsbmp) enabled       (NETSURF_USE_BMP := YES)
M.CONFIG: GIF (libnsgif) enabled       (NETSURF_USE_GIF := YES)
M.CONFIG: PNG (libpng) failed        (NETSURF_USE_PNG := YES)
amiga/Makefile.target:41: *** Unable to find library for: PNG (libpng).  Schluss.
wawa@debian:~/dev-netsurf/workspace/netsurf$ make TARGET=amigaos3

which likely means thet i need to compile libpng.a linklib for 68k before or 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.

You've missed building part of the toolchain.  The toolchain m68k-unknown-amigaos bit builds the cross-compiler for you (I assume you've done that).  After that you need to build the SDK part, which gives you all the non-NetSurf dependencies (libcurl etc).

You imagine wrong, that's the only way I've built it since they moved to Git, as it's a PITA to do any other way.  The CI system also cross-compiles on Linux every time there's a commit.  It definitely works.

it all sounds like dejavu and browsing for solutions i discover my own old posts on subject i have completely forgotten about.
i have found somewhere a guide how to setup and compile everything by hand but i lost it now again..nevertheless at least gcc.3.4.6 68k backend seems to build now with
make -C m68k-unknown-amigaos
after solving some dependencies
still i think i need to install it to /opt/, because so far i only have toolchains in my workspace dir?

I think it puts it in there itself.  You might need to run it again "sudo".

The SDK make line needs some variables adding to it.  The README (RISC OS section, at the bottom) tells you basically what you need.

okay, im trying this.

meanwhile, what gcc version are used for other platforms? so far i see netsurf toolchain contains 3.4.6. for 68k. the 3.6.xavailable from zerohero at its time was afair the worst what concerns the performance of produced code. about 4.2.x - 4.5.0 it was heading back to the levels of performance achieved with 2.9.x.
maybe it would be wort in looking at an upgrade.

also might be worth ot exchange the experience with aros devs here, they are on 4.6.3, implementing 4.8.2 and heading for 5.x.x support currently, but 68k gcc patches, especially register macros are a handicap there. i wonder how is this solved with netsurf.

edit: it might help solve  the apparent gcc problems that may be in result of patches (?)

alas its not different as root:
make[3]: Nothing to be done for `install'.
- which is what i suppose should happen, namely install?
