Dillo and GTK+

by Attilio Fiandrotti

Hi Recently the debian-installer, Debian's installation system, went graphical [1]: a GTK frontend was developed and to keep the instalation ISO as small as possible, so that runs even on low-mem systems, we choosed the DirectFrameBuffer [2] GTK backend (that has recently become part of GTK mainline to replace the old linux-fb). As the DFB backend allows multiple applications to render on the same VT, i was investigating about intergrating a web browser into the debian-installer so that the user is able to browse the installation manual while installing. As we need a very small and non X11-tied browser, dillo looks perfect for our purpose, but, as dillo is based on GTK 1.x, it's currently not possible running it on a GTKDFB system. I was wondering how hard would it be porting Dillo to GTK+, so that we can use it into our installer? Also, having dillo running on top of GTKDFB, would make it a very good solution for embedded applications. friendly Attilio Fiandrotti [1] http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/GUI [2] http://www.directfb.org/wiki/index.php/Projects:GTK_on_DirectFB

My new dillo was talking to my old dpi; the command did not have the terminating [sp]'>, so was never recognised. Whatever my new dpis were doing, it wasn't "being installed and used". I'm not sure how it got into that state, but "rm -rf /usr/local/lib/dillo/dpi" helped get it out. You may release ;-) f -- Francis Daly francis(a)daoine.org

Still broken for me. Fresh "cvs update" ./autogen.sh && ./configure && make sudo make install pkill dpi dillo /tmp/a.txt - blank screen, nothing in url box strace -f -F -o dillo.str dillo /tmp/a.txt 2>&1 | tee dillo.out - same thing. dillo.str shows not a lot obviously different from a working 0.8.5 equivalent; dillo.out has : main.c:328: main: get_command failed : Dpi_parse_token: [<dpi cmd='start_send_page' url='file:/tmp/a.txt'>] Dpi: [Dpi_process_io] IOClose in 0.8.5 but only : main.c:362: main: get_command failed : Dpi: [Dpi_process_io] IOClose in 0.8.6-pre for me.

It works here. Note: while typing fast I managed to "reproduce" the bug, but it was because I standed on src/ while doing make, and "dillorc" is in "../" from there! :-) If you find a way to reproduce the bug, it should be tackled before the release. > More when I've played with new-CVS a bit.

OK. I checked the patch, and recoded it to use D_DNS_THREADED, D_DNS*, and the same "./configure --disable-threaded-dns". Commited and in CVS now. Please test it. I'll make a 0.8.6rc1 after receiving your feedback with a view to a next release (its been a long time, and the CVS is stable enough). Note: I'm keeping 0.8.6pre in sync with the FLTK2-based tree. -- Cheers Jorge.-
