building Dillo 0.8.5 with Compaq's C Compiler on FreeBSD/Alpha
by Anders Gavare 15 Nov '05

Hi all! Dillo 0.8.5 doesn't compile "out-of-the-box" with Compaq's C Compiler on FreeBSD/Alpha. The Dillo source code seems to be quite portable and clean as it is, so only very minor changes were necessary to make it build and run. It's probably a very uncommon compiler scenario, but I thought I'd still share this with the list. Perhaps it is of interest to someone. 1. src/dw_embed_gtk.h, line 27: /*gboolean child_size_request_lock*/; CCC doesn't like the semi-colon being outside the comment. Moving it inside allows the compilation to continue. 2. Lines 379-380 in src/dw_widget.h do not work with CCC. #define a_Dw_iterator_unhighlight(it, l) ((it) ? \ (it)->highlight(it, -1, -1, l) : FALSE) highlight() seems to return a void, which is not the same type as FALSE. I am not sure what the correct solution would be, but changing line 380 into the following will at least allow the compilation continue: ((it)->highlight(it, -1, -1, l), TRUE) : FALSE) 3. Line 134 in src/html.c. CCC says 'The static declaration of "Tags" is a tentative definition and specifies an incomplete type. (incompstat)' Removing the 'static' so that the line reads just const TagInfo Tags[]; allows the compilation to continue. (Note that the actual definition of static const TagInfo Tags further down in html.c does _not_ need to be changed!) So far so good. With these modifications, LIBPTHREAD_LIBS="-lc_r" CC=ccc CFLAGS="-mcpu=pca56 -fast -O4 -g3" ./configure; make builds everything. However, Dillo crashes when run. I spent some time trying to track down what causes this, and it seems to be the debug macros. CCC gives about a million warnings about these, looking like this: cc: Warning: file.c, line 42: This parameter is not preceded by a comma. (missingcomma) #define _MSG(fmt...) ----------------^ cc: Warning: file.c, line 905: Too few actual parameters in the invocation of the macro "MSG". (toofewactuals) MSG("file.dpi:: Failed to parse 'url'\n"); and so on. Apparently, either CCC is flawed in this regard, or the MSG macros were not written cleanly enough. Modifying src/msg.h and src/debug.h so that all MSG and DEBUG_MSG macros simply become empty statements, also changing the BW_MSG define in src/IO/http.c into an empty definition "avoids" the problem, Dillo seems to run fine, but of course there will be no debug output. :-/ The compiler version I used was "V6.4-005 on Linux 2.4.2 alpha", and the host OS was FreeBSD/Alpha 4.9. Perhaps some of these modifications could apply to the current CVS tree as well, and not just 0.8.5, but I haven't had time to check. Anders

Hi, I have dillo installed on cgywinX. When I try to logon to the yahoo mail site, it errors out and reports "can't start dpid daemon". I also see "dpid tag is null" in the message. How do I fix this? Thanks. __________________________________ Yahoo! FareChase: Search multiple travel sites in one click. http://farechase.yahoo.com

Using Frames in dillo 0.8.6pre
by hans353＠gmail.com 15 Nov '05

15 Nov '05

Hello. First of all I want to thank everybody working on dillo web browser, i really like it. Now my question. I remeber having tabbed browsing and frame support within dillo 0.85 from the gentoo ebuild. Now i'm trying 0.86pre from cvs and can't find any option for this. Maybe i'm to blind to find it in the INSTALL or ./configure --help. Is there any possibility to use tabbed browsing and frame support within dillo 0.8.6pre. Thank you and best regards Hans

My personal wish lists
by Jun OKAJIMA 03 Nov '05

Hello Dillo Developers. I tried dillo and found good. Thanks for your effort. Do you need my impression? No? umm.. Anyway, my wish list from just a few hours experience are ... 1. Integrate this -> http://teki.jpn.ph/pc/software/ Especially, - Internationalization - Frame support - Referer these are necessary. 2. Animated GIF!!! this is necessary. I felt Dillo is good for KIOSK use, but without animated gif, common web business model, in short, advertising, does not work. Nothing works without a business model, right? 3. FLTK and UTF-8 support. Among the stuff already on your wishlist, this is the most desired for me. 4. It is very difficult issue that you should add javascript or not. Despite of that I know the needs for JS is incresing because of ajax, but, atm, I feel not necessary. If you need such stuff, use firefox. --- Okajima, Jun. Tokyo, Japan.
