Cross Compiling for arm
by Donald McKnight 13 Nov '03

13 Nov '03

Hello, I recently downloaded 0.7.3 to cross compile on the gmate yopy 3700. with my first attempt I noticed the configure script grabbed all of my local variables such as /usr/local/lib instead of /opt/arm-linux/lib. This gave me libgtk.so cannot read symbols. I went though the configure and manually set the environment variables and was able to successfully compile dillo, however when I transfer the binary to arm it does not launch it just hangs. I have cross-compiled several apps using the same cross-compiler on my system. I am using slackware 9.1 kernel 2.4.22, but I don't think the version should matter. Has anyone ran into this before? Thanks Donald McKnight

[RFC] keywords
by Frank de Lange 13 Nov '03

13 Nov '03

While we're talking preferences anyway... I have another addition to the range: keywords. In my current version you can type "s something or other" in the location bar, which is interpreted as "search for something or other" through this keyword definition in the dillorc: s:http://www.google.com/search?q= You can define as many as these as you want. The format is keywords = "<keyword>:<url> <keyword>:<url> ..." The end result of a successful keyword match consists of the url for the keyword, followed by an escaped copy of anything that followed the keyword. The above example for "s" looks like this: http://www.google.com/search?q=something%20or%20other This adds next to nothing to the size of Dillo by the way. Any strong sentiments against this functionality? [ and on the subject of preferences... I know what Havoc et al say, but I do not always agree... In many cases choice is a good thing, as long as it is not mandatory to choose. Define sane defaults for those who can not or do not want to choose, but keep things flexible for those who want to change those defaults.

[RFC] Last call... remove conditional compilation from tab/fram patch?
by Frank de Lange 13 Nov '03

13 Nov '03

Hi'all, Those of you who want to keep the conditional compilation options for tabs and frameset support in the tab/frame patch, speak up now. If I do not get any serious requests in this direction I will remove the conditional compilation options in the next patch (any day now...) and you'll all be stuck with tabs and frames. But... that might be the reason you applied the patch in the first place, so... BTW, the selection issue with the tab/frame patch is solved, I just forgot to set the owner for the selection.

[RFC] external Dillo splash screen
by Frank de Lange 13 Nov '03

13 Nov '03

Hi'all, I've removed the Dillo splash screen from src/IO/about.c, and added a new preference 'splash_url' (currently set to '/usr/lib/dillo/dillo.html' by default, this can change). The contents of that file are identical to the current splash screen. I've also added a new pref 'show_splash', which - you guessed it - can be used to suppress the splash screen. Set it to NO, and Dillo will come up with a blank window instead. Dillo is now ca. 11 KB smaller than before. The splash screen loads just as fast. The splash screen can be distributed with Dillo just like the dpi's are. Should it be missing, all that'll happen is that Dillo will complain about not finding the file. No breakage... Seems like an improvement to me.

[RFC] Quo Vadis Dillo
by Frank de Lange 13 Nov '03

13 Nov '03

Hi'all, Now that the last release of the patches seem to work (number 13 was less of a success...)... Where do we want to be tomorrow? What needs to be added/changed to improve Dillo? Should the tab/frame/etcetera + Indan's patch + ??? be forked into an 'experimental' version, somewhat like the Sylpheed MUA was forked into Sylpheed-claws? Talking about my patch, what does need improvement? Some ideas: - select contents of location bar/search field when they are focused (DONE, in next version) - make the 'search the web' popup disappear when popup_dialogs=NO, replace it with a non_popup version or use the location bar for search (like several other browsers do) - more key bindings (replacing current key handling where applicable) - remove compile options for tabs and frames, make tabs/frames standard? [ PDA/embedded developers: is this OK with you? ] - ???

dillo won't resolve URLs under a proxy environment?
by Ken Wolcott 12 Nov '03

12 Nov '03

Hi; Dillo looks interesting. However I can't go anywhere with it as I am under a proxy environment. I saw that the default dillorc has a commented-out section for http_proxy. I copied the default dillorc to be my ~/.dillorc and started dillo again. I noticed that the chatter from dillo no longer complained about a missing .dillorc, yet I am still unable to go to any URL. The message on the web browser was: "Error: Dns: can't resolve http://linuxtoday.com". I get the same basic error message when trying to go to www.perl.com or http://www.perl.com. I am able to go to these web sites using other web browsers such as mozilla, galeon, opera, netscape and konqueror. Each one of those I had to set a proxy preference. Perhaps my proxy setting has incorrect syntax? Enclosed is the chatter from dillo and the .dillorc (proxy setting has obviously been sanitized).

Hi Stephen; That was **EXACTLY** the problem! I moved ~/.dillorc to be ~/.dillo/dillorc...Works fine now!

I have completely overhauled the internals so that focus always is in sync with the rest of Dillo. Which just happened to fix the problem Sebastian noticed... I'd say, wait a week or so to see if any issues crop up. If all seems OK commit the patch. [ LIST: please give keyboard navigation, on either version of the patch, a workout. This needs some testing if it is to be part of mainstream Dillo. Try it in frame sites, try navigatin between frames with Tab/Shift-Tab, try the keyboard bindings, etc. ] By the way, the patch also contains a fix to a problem with dpid/Makefile.am (which did not honour DESTDIR on installation, messing up make install for non-root users). Let me know when you apply this, because it will affect the tab/frame/kbnav patch s well.

When dillo starts a console message indicates that cookies are disabled. Is there a way to enable cookies? Thanks, Bill
