i doubt anyone will accept your proposal, especially that its based on imho incorrect information, that chris version is better suited for real amigas and arturs for uae.
O.K. - ist juist a minor difference, but at least it is a difference: I did not propose, I just suggested...
And as far as I understood utri007, he didn't say "better suited for", but "works nicely with emulators" and "is targeted to real Amigas"...
right, artur develops on uae and with uae in mind, but i have run his browser on an amiga too, including aga version.
Very good.
In case you also tested Chris's version on the same "real Amiga", you should be able to tell us which of them feels more responsive on a "real Amiga"...
right. it woukld be better to join the forces and have on e binary for all.
Yeah - why not.
even if i would prefer to build the gui against mui instead against reaction in this case.
Why not support both GUIs and let the user decide which one he likes more ("skins")?
so, have you got arturs netsurf running on your system, by now or what?
It turned out that I tried to start Arthur's version with no success. Confusingly enough, his version also has the version number "3.6 dev".
No, I have not succeeded yet to get it running.
And to be honest, after learning that it doesn't have a GUI and will only run from a command-line I don't feel very inclined to test it.
i might check current version here on uae/aros68k, but usually it works out of the box.
Here I have to contradict.
The "3.6 dev" version
CANNOT "work out of the box", as SnoopDos clearly showed me that some files were not in the drawer where they should have been according to SnooDos, e.g. the file "Resource.map" is in "Resources" - not in "Resources/de/" and "Resources/en/", where the system is looking for it upon start.
I had to copy it over manually in order to get an "O.K." instead "Fail" in SnoopDos.
then you can test chris his version, which is a bit more fiddling with as i remember. because it is still in experimental stadium.
"More fiddling"? "Experimental Stadium"?
I would only expect a "dev" version to be in "experimental stadium", e.g. "netsurf 3.6 dev".
All other, earlier versions should run stable, or did I get something completely wrong?
i cant test it here currently, since it isnt compatible with plain 3.1 plus class act and i dont have a 3.9 setup with me.
I have all OS versions - ranging from 1.2 up to 4.0 classic.
I mainly use 3.9 - 4.0 is just an "experimental Installation", as 4.x classic doesn't support my hardware configuration sufficiently (just USB 1.1 instead of 2.0, just 10 mBit NIC mode instead of 100, limited Mediator support and so on).
