Hello,  I trying to compile netsurf for OS3. But I have this problem hat I can not solve :angry:.
i test it on cygwin 32 under Windows and on ubuntu 15.10
could someone help me? thank you

Yes.  This is your problem:

Code: [Select]

make: nsgenbind: Command not found

You need to build and install nsgenbind (if you haven't already).

I find nsgenbind ends up in /opt/netsurf/bin where the makefile can't find it, so create a link in /usr/bin:
ln -s /opt/netsurf/bin/nsgenbind /usr/bin/nsgenbind
(think that's the right way round, always have to look it up!)

However I found here that NetSurf won't startup when Javascript is enabled, it just errors out, so you might find you need to disable it anyway (by adding a line to makefile.config, see makefile.defaults)

i have also errors on nsgenbind build

Try building it just with simply "make".  It needs to be built for the computer you are cross-compiling on, rather than the target (as it is only used for building NetSurf).

Sorry for stupid question. You have compiled Netsurf? Do you have working exe with Reaction GUI? Do you have any problems with using it? What sources you are using?

Thank you for your answers, guys !

Sorry for stupid question. You have compiled Netsurf? Do you have working exe with Reaction GUI? Do you have any problems with using it? What sources you are using?

I managed to compile NetSurf 3.5, I can launch it on AmiKit, there is an interface (I don't know if it's Reaction GUI), an I can use it quite correctly (the problem is I can't see any pictures or videos). (Sometimes, a bug can happen, but I think it's because of the computer I work).
Don't worry for the "stupid" questions, i prefer to answer them than forgetting them ^^

You may also find after installing nsgenbind, that it isn't in the path. Creating a soft link from /usr/bin/nsgenbind to /opt/netsurf/bin/nsgenbind might help.

I think I already did this, and I have <> (I translate the sentence from french, so sorry for the mistakes)
I looked for the folder /usr/bin/nsgenbind but it doesn't exist. That the same thing for the other folder. I wonder if the link doesn't already exists...

I usually get that error because I can never remember what order the parameters are supposed to be in.

Anyway, it's easy to check if the link already exists:

Code: [Select]

chris@debian-vm:~/netsurf/netsurf$ ls -la /usr/bin/nsg*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 Feb 29 00:16 /usr/bin/nsgenbind -> /opt/netsurf/bin/nsgenbind


If it shows up as a file (ie. no "->"), delete it and recreate the link.

Thanks again for your help !

I recreated the link, i just modified it to correspond to my configuration (I work with cygwin to compile NetSurf for AmigaOS3), so I have :
ln -s /home/Administrator/netsurf/nsgenbind/build-i686-pc-cygwin-i686-pc-cygwin-release-binary/nsgenbind /usr/bin/nsgenbind

I tried to compile the 3.5 release and also with the 3.6 dev and I don't have the duk_dukky.o error anymore (for the 3.6 dev, i have another error, but that's not the topic here).

However, the problem is when I try to launch NetSurf 3.5 on AmiKit V8 now. I obtain this :

FATAL 56: uncaught error
PANIC 56: uncaught error (calling abort)
Abnormal program termination
NetSurf : error code 20

I don't have this error with NetSurf 3.5 "dukTape disabled edition". The browser is well working in that case (it is only "not really" beautiful and the pictures and videos aren't displayed).

Yes, I have that problem too.  If you figure out the fix I'd appreciate a patch

I can see a problem with the version date (6th April 1016). Maybe it comes from there ? A date issue as on every softwares synchronized with the Internet ? (ah, this issue, a real nightmare ! ^^) I'll try to look for a solution, but as you know, I'm not as advanced as you on Amiga OS

Hopefully that's not an issue with 3.6dev, the bitmap routines have been changed to use guigfx (as you know!)

I can see you've unmasked me ! :lol:
I'll try to make 3.6dev work thanks to your advice.

I don't know if you have followed discussion about Chris' attempt to port it Amiga os 3.5/9? It start to be really fast with real Amigas. There is however one big problem, memory leak / or memory fragmention issue, wich slows it down after few pages.

I'm not sure about the fact I followed the discussion (I've read so many things that I don't remember why ! ^^), but that's right ! AmiKit sometimes rebooted all alone while I was using NetSurf.

Java is nice, but I have high doubt that it would make it unuseable with real Amigas. Maybe latter with Vampire accelerators?

I'm sorry, I didn't understand what you wanted to say here. Do you mean AmiKit is made with Java ?
