We need an iBrowse replacement for 68k!!!

[wawrzon]

thanks, suspected something like that. coming a little further now.

got bored with building toolchain and went straight to compiling the libs on another machine under cygwin using precompiled arturs backend available above. i hope chris will fix toolchain makefiles for himself one day so that we have unified reference.

now compiling the libsparseutils i see:
src/charset/aliases.c: In function `parserutils_charset_alias_match':
src/charset/aliases.c:53: Warnung: Index hat Typ »char«

apparently the sourcefile needs a cast? ive built it for now without -werror. but i guess its better to report back and have it fixed upstream.

a question though, i cannot find any possibility to convince the make to output the detailed information what exactly has been invoked with the full path, to be sure the correct compiler backend and tools are used. no --debug option seems to grant this, neither VERBOSE=1.. what to do? (btw libcss seem to have compiled just fine, im a little puzzled why this is all that easy all the sudden)

[wawrzon]

a little too early joy..

Code: [Select]

$ make -C libhubbub TARGET=amigaos3 install
make: Entering directory `/home/wawa/netsurf/workspace/libhubbub'
/home/wawa/netsurf/workspace/inst/share/netsurf-buildsystem/makefiles/Makefile.t
op:249: warning: overriding recipe for target `clean'
examples/Makefile:14: warning: ignoring old recipe for target `clean'
ENTITIES: src/tokeniser/entities.inc
make: *** Keine Regel vorhanden, um das Target »libxml2.c«,
  benötigt von »libxml2.o«, zu erstellen.  Schluss.
make: Leaving directory `/home/wawa/netsurf/workspace/libhubbub'

sorry thats in german, even a bad output translation i suppose. should be there is no rule to build libxnl.c to libxml2.o i suppose. strangely i dont see any mention of xml in the appropriate makefile nor makefile.top that seems to override it.

I had this too. Delete examples folder.

[wawrzon]

...also pref.

now libdom remains to be made;)

pcgconfig is not available, constructed it out of pieces with guessed version string, but bindings still make problems. neither builds.

make -n (or is it -N?) should output the commands it is calling.  Doesn't always work though.

Maybe any news?

i think artur is working here:
http://www.amigacoding.de/index.php?topic=291.0
i personally am stuck a little on both netsurf for aos as well as odyssey for aros68k.
ive been able to compile the libs for netsurf as artur did but i doubt i can help much there since i practically cant code. more likely is that i will get aros odyssey to compile some day.

I try to compile Chris's OS4 NetSurf.
I have half of code compiled at this moment.
If somebody knows how to implement some OS4 functions on classic,
post it here:

cant help much with coding, otherwise although olaf has registered me on the amiga coding de i still cant login, will try to contribute whatever i can as soon it works.

btw would like to propose not to use devcpp for compiling, rather to stick to the usual netsurf makefiles, to ensure that the changes may be easily commited upstreamand amiga 68k can be incorporated in the set of official netsurf backends which would in turn make it easier to maintain i guess. however i suppose you have though of it yourself.

NovaCoder manages to convert complex games and programs that was not intended to run on AGA into AGA. Perhaps his biggest feat of a project, converting a browser to run on AGA? Perhaps FireFox or Chrome or something like that, that allows the browser to run on AGA Amiga and even allow you to use flash on AGA Amiga, allow you to watch youtube in the browser itself on AGA Amiga on decent and enjoyable speed.

NOW IF SUCH feat was feasible and successful............................................................................................................
fishy_fiz, help me here.

@amigaclassicrule:
there is a number of different challenges here that demand different skills. usually a gifted coder like chris can do and maintain such a port, but then even him has stated, he will refrain to maintaining only the os4 implementation.. and secondly the whole amiga scene, and not just 68k or os4 community has a handful of such coders remaining. i am not trying to insult anyone, just tell that it isnt as easy as it looks like from the outside.

[NovaCoder]

Yep as explained above, this is really not my area so I can't be much help

Sounds like arti is on the case though so there is still some hope for a decent OS3 AGA browser.

[wawrzon]

all due respect given i doubt its arturs area as well, otherwise he might have done it long ago. there is clearly requirement for help, whoever might be able should step ahead.

[NovaCoder]

Hiya,

Well he worked on the SDL port so he's already a lot more qualified than most of us

Chris has also been very supportive so between them they should get there hopefully, I'll also try and help out if I can.
