So somehow that dillo executable knows how to > find the fonts? No. It may be that they don't try with the same fontnames! Make sure both provide the exactly the same Dw_style_font_realize() font. If it's the same, check you're using the same dillorc for both.

Re: [Dillo-dev] Dillo on Windows fork

I don't know how he did that, but I remember those two parts (IO and forking) were the first things that needed to be ported to Windows. My message wasn't aimed at discussing technical points (I never programmed in Windows), but rather to point to some light-weight gtk 1.2 project that was already successfully ported to Windows, so less experienced developers could take a look on it. > > I think, if someone does not already have the experience of > > porting to Windows.... > > I ported CinePaint to Windows, the largest GTK project ever ported aside > from GIMP. Then disregard my email, it will not help you :). I thought someone was in need of technical help for porting to Windows, so I posted some hints in the case where the poster was not so experienced. > >...looking at Claws versions can be very helpful, as our port > > is done by a very knowledgeable guy. > > Cool, who was that?

The only requirement is to release the sources under the GPL with any release you do. Regarding the need for a windows port, I don't quite see who would need such a thing (besides you, obviously). Windows has phoenix, which is lightweight enough when the OS itself need a big machine only to boot. As for running old versions of windows on a small machine, it really is ludicrous. Running an OS that's unsupported, crash-prone and hopelessly outdated like W9x sounds like a bad idea. This kind of machine is a perfect target for a small linux. Good luck anyway. Eric

Robert, > Well, for me, one of the annoying things about M$ is it's policy of > aggressive obsolescence. Let's not debate the pros and cons of Microsoft. It isn't that interesting and anyone with an opinion is unlikely to change it. In my world, that is, motion picture animation and special effects, the O.S. situation is very different from elsewhere. If you read my articles in Linux Journal then you are aware that in motion picture production Linux dominates as the most popular O.S. on servers and desktops. Windows isn't even a close second. The largest corporate installations of Linux in the world are DreamWorks, ILM, and Disney. To support all operating systems -- even minor ones like Windows -- is a mark of professionalism where I come from.

Dillo configure cannot find zlib, jpeglib not libpng
by Scorpio Rising 03 Sep '03

03 Sep '03

Hello, just joined. I have a configuration problem in Debian stable. The configure file cannot find/use the z, jpeg or png libs that are in /usr/include. *** cannot locate***......disabling jpeg/png/libz I have tried the command line options and even hardcoding the paths in configure.in to no avail. I have installed the dev-headers for these packages. Other programs (GIMP, ShowIMG, etc) find and use them just fine. Dillo works, but no images :-\ Thanks, -- Gregg

Problems compiling tab+frame patch on Mandrake and RH 7
by Kelson Vibber 03 Sep '03

03 Sep '03

I've built RPMs that include version 9 of the tab+frame patch at http://www.hyperborea.org/software/dillo/modified.html (a completely separate page from the mail page with the "vanilla" RPMs). In building these, I ran into problems trying to compile with up-to-date versions of: - Red Hat 7.3 - Red Hat 7.2 - Mandrake 8.2 - Mandrake 9.1 On these systems, after un-tarring the Dillo 0.7.3 source and applying the appropriate version of the patch, make would always fail at the same point: gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../.. -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/include/libpng12 -I/usr/include/gtk-1.2 -I/usr/include/glib-1.2 -I/usr/lib/glib/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -g -O2 -DXHTML_DTD_FRAMESET -DXHTML_DTD_TRANSITIONAL -D_REENTRANT -D_THREAD_SAFE -Wall -Waggregate-return -c `test -f 'http.c' || echo './'`http.c http.c: In function `Http_query': http.c:167: `VERSION' undeclared (first use in this function) http.c:167: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once http.c:167: for each function it appears in.) make[3]: *** [http.o] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/kelson/build/dillo-0.7.3/src/IO' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/kelson/build/dillo-0.7.3/src' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/kelson/build/dillo-0.7.3' make: *** [all] Error 2 The unpatched versions had no problems on any of the above systems. When I checked the patch to see what was changed in http.c, and saw how little there was, I started looking at library versions. At the time I had not tried Red Hat 7.2, so I started up my UML copy. On my first test (just compiling the patched source), it worked. I then checked for and installed updates before trying to build the RPM, and it failed just as the others had. To make a long story short, on Red hat 7.2 I narrowed the problem down to glibc. It worked with glibc 2.2.4-19.3, but not with 2.2.4-32. Unfortunately I can't narrow it down to a version in general. Red Hat 7.3 is on glibc-2.2.5-43, Mandrake 8.2 is on glibc-2.2.4-26.2mdk, and Mandrake 9.1 is on glibc-2.3.1-10mdk. Has anyone else encountered similar problems, and/or come up with a workaround? -- Kelson Vibber www.hyperborea.org

CPU hog with large selections
by Jorge Arellano Cid 03 Sep '03

03 Sep '03

Hi there, Yesterday I came accross this bug while reading: http://freshmeat.net/articles/view/889/ (272KB) If you go to a comment in the middle of the page, start selecting text with the mouse, and move it to the leftmost border (so it selects all the text up to the start), the CPU will hog and dillo will become unresponsive as it was in a dead loop. For instance, from the bottom line it takes 10 minutes to recover on a pentium II 233Mhz. I almost sure this can be improved. Please someone give a hand to fixing it. Cheers Jorge.-

Dillo used in Puppy Linux
by Barry Kauler 02 Sep '03

02 Sep '03

Hi, Introducing myself, just recently subscribed to this list. I'm developing a super tiny Linux distro called Puppy, that runs totally in a 48M or 64M ramdisk, yet has a full suite of GUI apps. The greatest advantage of having everything always in RAM is the fast startup and response. The 48M version 0.6 is on the web, hosted by ibiblio.org, and uses Hacked Links and Dillo. I'm currently using Dillo as the internal HTML viewer. Note, Puppy has a large amount of docs, in HTML. Also using Sylpheed, not Claws. For the "big" Puppy, running in 64M, I've experimented with Mozilla v0.9.8 and Konqueror-embedded. I've retained Dillo as the internal viewer. Note that the small Puppy uses only apps written in plain C, and only has the Athena (neXtaw) and GTK v1.2 libraries -- which is why I want to encourage you Dillo developers to stick with compatibility with the v1.2 library!!! ...and, I know it's dreaming, but if Dillo can get CSS, SSL, and a few other things, it could be the only browser I need. (Flash, SVG, ....) ... small Puppy runs ok on a PC with 128M RAM, but I dream of getting it going on a 64M system. Puppy site: http://www.goosee.com/puppy Regards, Barry Kauler

table cellspacing and borders
by Ralph Slooten 02 Sep '03

02 Sep '03

In my attempts to make a nice design website from pure and propper html, I have discovered that Dillo differs from any other browser when it comes to rendering tables with set widths. Could anyone clarify for me why dillo expands the initially set width of a table when the cellspacing and/or border is increased? What I mean is like this: <table cellpadding="6" cellspacing="10" border="5" width="700" bgcolor="#E3E3E3"> <tr> <td>test</td> <td> test 2</td> </tr> </table> This produces a table which is wider than 700px. If cellspacing="0" and border="0", dillo renders the table fine to it's set width of 700. Is this a bug, or some w3.org specification other browsers like Mozilla / Opera / IE ignore? Using 0.7.3 here if it's any use ;-) Greetings Ralph -- http://axljab.homelinux.org:8080/ "...the software said Win95 or better, so I installed Linux"
