Issue 187: "Configure should stop when no compiler is found"

by a1ex＠dismail.de

Hi Rodrigo, Regarding this issue[1], I have found couple of ways to address this: The easiest way is to do AC_PROG_CXX before AC_PROG_CC: --- a/configure.ac Sat Oct 5 13:15:28 2024 +++ b/configure.ac Sat Oct 5 13:15:48 2024 @@ -124,8 +124,8 @@ if test "x$enable_ssl" != "x"; then AC_MSG_ERROR([The flag --enable-ssl is deprecated, use --enable-tls]) fi -AC_PROG_CC AC_PROG_CXX +AC_PROG_CC AC_PROG_RANLIB AC_PROG_CPP Which now errors out when no working compiler is found: 'configure: error: C++ compiler cannot create executables' Alternately, we can add a check to verify if the complier actually exists, and if not, exit. Something like this: dnl ------------------------------------------------------------ dnl AC_PROG_CXX will set CXX=g++ even if it finds no useable C++ dnl compiler, so we have to check whether the program named by dnl CXX exists. dnl ------------------------------------------------------------ dnl AC_PROG_CXX AC_PATH_PROG(REAL_CXX, $CXX) HAVE_CXX=no if test -n "$REAL_CXX"; then HAVE_CXX=yes fi if HAVE_CXX="no"; then echo "Error: No working C++ compiler found!" exit 1 fi If either of these solutions work for you, I can create a pull request.

CSS extra units

by Rodrigo Arias

Hi, This PR adds support for extra CSS units (ch, rem, vw, vh, vmin and vmax) from the mobilized fork: https://github.com/dillo-browser/dillo/pull/264 I tested it with a few sites, and overall it improves the rending layout, but it would be nice if you can test it with more sites before it gets merged. Best, Rodrigo.

Yeah, that's somewhat of a dillema. I personally don't use those sites and don't really want to promote them either, but they are very popular and many people consider them essential. My original idea with the Dillectory was to target newer Dillo users, to show them that they can still use the services they are accustomed to. I guess a larger question is 'who is the average new Dillo user, and what are they trying to achieve by using Dillo'? Perhaps my assumptions are a little off-base. In any case, I'm certainly open to removing sites from the list if they are overly controversial or political. > I think for a section of "some sites to try Dillo", I would rather > prefer to promote static sites that are simple and handwritten by > humans which render good in Dillo and show what it is capable of > (tables, image, floating elements, basic CSS, ...).

Having a list which really showcases the abilities of Dillo would be nice. I can try to help track down some sites which look especially good if you like. > Of course you cannot always avoid those places, so it is nice to have > these directories handy.

The idea of running a 'rogue' directory which is not wanted by the Dillo project was a worry of mine, and so I will do whatever possible to make sure that the content serves a mutual interest.

I don't have an strong opinion on this, as sometimes it is handy to render bullets or other small "symbols". But other times they embed a large image. In any case, the image data is already downloaded anyway. Best, Rodrigo.

Sorry for the late reply. This is a very nice resource, thanks! I didn't knew half of those services. Notice some links are broken as they have the http[s]:// prefix twice. > Provide Dillo-compatible alternatives to common services I don't like too much the idea of promoting silos like Medium or Twitter, but that is my personal opinion and I not sure to which extend that should influence Dillo. I think for a section of "some sites to try Dillo", I would rather prefer to promote static sites that are simple and handwritten by humans which render good in Dillo and show what it is capable of (tables, image, floating elements, basic CSS, ...). Which after all, is what the web was originally made for. Probably I'll need to carefully cherry pick those, as there are a lot of blogs that render poorly, even if the content is nice. The idea is not only to show that Dillo can render HTML documents nicely, but also to suggest that it is possible to have a Web without the current garbage. Of course you cannot always avoid those places, so it is nice to have these directories handy. Your Dillectory fills nicely this need, so I think it would be nice to place it in an "additional resources" section. Best, Rodrigo.
