Netsurf for 68k amigas, css capable web brower

[Matt_H]

Take a look at the documentation. There are a *lot* of dependencies.

@__artur:

Which version are u trying to compile ?
The OS4 version (http://www.netsurf-browser.org/downloads/source/ ) does NOT use MUI, if I'm correct, while the MorphOS version does.

You can try to port the OS4 version (read the build instructions, here: http://source.netsurf-browser.org/trunk/netsurf/Docs/BUILDING-AmigaOS )

@itix:

TARGET=morphos give the same result.

@0amigan0:

I'm trying morphos version.


How about one make one link lib?

[0amigan0]

@__artur:

The OS4 version should be easier to port.

PS. Do u have the dependancy libraries that netsurf for amiga requires ??

1st dependancy, lemon, compiled

i tryed netsurf on linux and it was orrible.

i think someone could work on OWB for 68k or to help jorg in this version.

@artur

What command "uname" returns for you?

@itix:

CYGWIN-NT-5.1

Good to know!
Keep us informed on the progress.

@seyia: then again probably would be better to take aros or at least mos owb source. os4 owb depends eventually on system functions not present in 3.x and on new reaction. both mui 3.8 and zune is available for 68k.

Ah, try using HOST=morphos now. Also edit morphos entry in makefile and replace gcc4 by gcc and remove PPC flags CFLAGS. You can also disable some junk from makefile.config and pay attention to link libs.

There are some MorphOS API calls in my MUI backend but if you manage to get it compiling I can help you to fix MorphOS dependencies in the code.

Nice to know that there are still capable coders and lots of helpfull people in amiga scene.

It make sense that MorphOS version would be easier to port OS3.9/3.5

And it allways nice to know that long term amiga coders like piru and itix are intersted to help

COuld someone advise on the best way to set up a compilation environment - should I try cross compiling, or go native?  Either way, which toolchain is recommended?  I know DICE and a little bit of the SAS/C environment, but I don't feel that that'll do the job :-)

Any advice appreciated on this before I waste a load of time just on the build environment! :-D

Wonder why people haven't found this more interested. Lack of modern web browser is big problem for OS3.9@ / 3.5

You'd probably want geekgadgets with the latest version of gcc you can find for m68K.

I've been pretty busy yesterday.
What I did:
I have all dependencies now...yay
What to do:
I'll see if netsurf compiles.
