NetSurf 3.2 68k released

[Xebec]

I have updated my version too.
Most important change is new Preferences made with MUI.
I made it with MUIBuilder which is great for noobs.
Other than this ttf and non-ttf fonts are now merged into one binary.

Libs and sources has been updated to newest versions.
I've compiled everything with gcc 3.4 because I read it generates better 68k code and produces smaller exe.

Like some users said this version works best under emulated environment.

Archive available from aminet

Hi there - is there any version available that doesn't require a FPU?  I see in the changelog - 3.4dev does not require ixemul.library -- but the latest version on aminet does appear to require ixemul.library..   which requires a FPU .

Just trying to get Netsurf working on my humble ACA1221 (68020@28 mhz, 32MB ram, no FPU) A1200 .

Thanks!

Chris - any chance you'd have an older non-FPU version on hand?  I don't need the latest, just wanted to play around a bit..  Greatly appreciated ..

(Figuring it'll be a while before Vampire A1200 is out and makes web browsing.. a lot better!)

They may or may not work, and they will almost certainly be horrible.

Horrible is OK

Good news and bad news --
It looks like it'll open without requiring a FPU.
However, it wants AmigaOS 3.5 or higher (I have 3.1), as it asks for "Diskfont.library v0 not found" which I think means v40 or higher.  I see the 'release' version on Aminet says Amiga OS 3.x.. but maybe not the case for this older version.  Thanks so much for sharing though Chris!

All of my builds need 3.5+

Got it!   Comprehension after reading is a good thing

Hi there,
my version works without FPU.
Homepage is here http://ami-soft.blogspot.com/
There is no FPU version of 3.5.
It works on all 3.x oses.

Thank you

This seems to get a lot further -

"Unable to Init SDL:  No available video device
Unable to initialise framebuffer"

I'm running an A1200 with 68020@ 28 mhz, 33MB of fast ram (+2MB chip ram, Indivision DVI AGA), using Miami and a pmcica ethernet for TCP/IP.  

I've looked through the docs but not sure if there is something else I should install?  The SDL library looks useful for compiling this myself only.  

I've tried the desktop at (highgfx - 1024x768x16 color/256 colors, and also PAL interlaced high res 16 and 256 colors).

You need aga version.

Maximum resolution is 640x512.

No SDL library required.

AGA version requires the FPU though unfortunately

[Xebec]

Arthurs version would not work with your system anyway. It requires more memory than you have.

You should consider update to OS3.9

I can go to 63 MB - would that be enough ?  (Aca1221).

I just want to see it work and hit basic sites like aminet .  

Guess for now I'll wait for the vampire a1200.

No FPU AGA version is here.
Amiga.org loaded with 8.5 MB RAM left on ClassicWBv28 (it takes 3MB) with 32MB
As wawrzon said it would be reeeealy slow on your config though, but please try and let us know

Thanks - this is the version that gives me the video / framebuffer error.

"Unable to Init SDL: No available video device
Unable to initialise framebuffer"

Maybe it doesn't work because of Indivision AGA?
Can you try without it?
I would try also NewMode program from aminet.

Good Question on the Indivision --

There appears to be no startup software on the Indivision AGA;  so I've booted the CF under WinUAE and achieve the same results.  to "Verify" Indivision is disabled, I've tried loading the software for it and receive the "hardware not found" error.

For NewMode - I see v3.9 on Aminet, and the archive says it contains the Binary only and requires v3.8 (which I cannot find on Aminet or via Google Search).  I've installed v3.9 anyway but receive an error 'configuration file not found' upon boot.  

I'll make a backup of this CF card and install BetterWB and/or Amiga OS 3.5 and see if Netsurf magically works

NetSurf 3.6 Dev released
http://ami-soft.blogspot.com/

Hi APJ!  i just wanted to say I was finally able to get 3.5 working on my Amiga 1200 / with no FPU.  The trick was installing BetterWB on top of Amiga OS 3.1, and that apparently added a few things that Netsurf required.  I am able to open the netsurf-aga-nofpu and see the browser now.

Config:
A1200, Kickstart 3.1
68020 @ 28 mhz, No FPU
2MB Chip, 1MB Slow, 32MB Fast.

I was able to get rid of all of the errors produced by Snoop but it still didn't open or load until I installed BetterWB.  

Thanks for producing this!

Now I have to get DNS resolution working on my MiamiDX miggy..

Config:
A1200, Kickstart 3.1
68020 @ 28 mhz, No FPU
2MB Chip, 1MB Slow, 32MB Fast.
