Up until now I've installed it into /usr/local, which has worked fine everywhere. If I install FLTK into ~/local (with ~/local/bin in the path), downloads.cc will not build. configure is finding the correct includes and library paths, and dpi/Makefile has them as LIBFLTK_CXXFLAGS and LIBFLTK_LIBS. However, those paths don't seem to be used for building downloads.cc. I can get most of the current set of distributions using a FLTK installed in /usr/local. I haven't set up my own Mandriva 2006 box yet, and I'm trying to build it at work without installing FLTK system-wide. -- Kelson Vibber www.hyperborea.org

dillo-0.8.6.tar.bz2 is out!!!

by Jorge Arellano Cid

Hi there, dillo-0.8.6.tar.bz2 is finally ready for download. Get it from: http://www.dillo.org/download/dillo-0.8.6.tar.bz2 The announcement will be made hopefully after the RPMs and DEBs are ready. Package maintainers, please let me know when ready. The graphical downloads plugin is the recommended choice for precompiled packages. IMPORTANT NOTE: FLTK2 r4898 or less is recommended. Later snapshots behave unstable. You have been warned. How to get FLTK2: From scratch from svn: svn co -r 4898 http://svn.easysw.com/public/fltk/fltk/trunk/ fltk to an existing svn tree: svn update -r 4898 Please send some feedback. This is the same rc5 tarball (with a 0.8.6 label), but you never know! :-) -- Cheers Jorge.-

The right place to discuss this is in the dillo-0.8.5-i18n-misc forum, with the patch developers. This branch is not maintained by us and not our responsibility at all. If you have any troubles with the official Dillo you're more than welcome to report troubles here; BTW, you're encouraged. As from our branch, you could try dillo-0.8.6-rc5.tar.bz2. -- Cheers Jorge.-

For the first time in my experience, I'd like to try -- but I have no idea how to downgrade anything. Is there a "yum downgrade" command??

I believe the splash screen has some > hints for problem reports. Maybe it used to; I disremember. What I get by launching it now is a thing like a miniature icon on the desktop: a round-topped vertical blue rectangle with a white bottom, half the size of my little fingernail. The cursor, touching it, immediately turns into a double-tipped diagonal with which to drag to corner to resize it. That done, it says "about:splash" in the location bar, and "Welcome to Dillo 0.8.5-i18n-misc" on the gray background. The rest looks like a drawing of tables of words, with just lines to represent phrases. View > Options gives a screen called Dillo Preferences -- which is new and welcome to me, but, alas!, doesn't work. On the Interface tab, resetting panel size may do something; can't tell. Setting window size up to 1000 x 700 gets me something that might be of use (on a ViewSonic VG91-b 19" flat panel LCD monitor, 1280 x 1024) -- but I still see nothing remotely readable where text looks meant to be. The font tab comes up with "font factor" (something I never heard of) set to 0.1; I just reset to 1.5, and now see text. Better let me play around a while -- this is beginning to remind me of RH/Fedora's bad old days, when any app came up requiring configuration before first use -- not only no usable defaults out of the box, but no defaults at all.

another possible ps2 problem with 0.8.6rc5...

by robert w hall

from a thread on the ps2-linux site between linuxlad (me) & cronocloud- anyone else having problems, or see what we're doing wrong??? Read and respond to this message at: https://playstation2-linux.com/forum/message.php?msg_id=49526 By: cronocloud >Why did you need to use gcc3? I got a strange error message at the end of the configure using 2.95.2 it wasn't exactly a "total failure" message but I decided to try it with gcc3 and there was no strange message with that. >I've now compiled wget (both gccs) and rc5 and am >NOT getting things going smoothly. (main.c:362 >get_command failed). Things are not going smooth with my dillo either, intermittent downloader failures, with similar messages as before. When it happens, I have to exit dillo and kill the little dpi bits it leaves behind to have a chance of getting the downloader working again, and even then it still sometimes doesn't work. And logging into these forums with it is basically random, sometimes it works, but most of the time it doesn't.It just crashed trying to log in. And it still does that "not loading a website all the way" thing it does.on occasion. When that happens, it's usually not very long till it refuses to load pages at all. Then it's exit and kill time. It still doesn't exit cleanly all the time. I'm not really complaining though,because dillo works pretty well the majority of the time. I really do appreciate the devs hard work. snip ______________________________________________________________________ You are receiving this email because you elected to monitor this forum, the forum is attached to news you submitted, or the post is in direct reply to one of yours.

Dillo 0.8.5-2.fc5 suddenly having problems as default browser under FC5

by beartooth

Followups set to gmane.comp.web.dillo.devel Dillo 0.8.5-2.fc5 has long been my default -- both in the preference settings for Fedora 4 and now 5, and in the preferences for Pan 0.14.2.91. It seems to've gotten some major changes lately -- possibly through a yum nightly, more likely because of some change I've made in its options, such as telling it my own colors for links visited and unvisited, etc. It worked fine with Pine (either on my own machine, or Pine on a remote machine running under ssh) in which I command "open link" -- for a while longer than in Pan. But Dillo as the default has suddenly (in the last day or so) taken to coming up with only a tiny window, and telling me "ERROR: unable to connect to remote host" in the left bottom corner. I have tried changing the preferences to something else, and back; no joy. If I open Dillo from its icon in the browser drawer on my panel, it tells me "Welcome to Dillo 0.8.5-i18n-misc" -- but rpm -q dillo says dillo-0.8.5-2.fc5. If I type or paste a URL into the location on Dillo as opened from the icon, I also get the error message. (It used to work fine on complete URLs -- ones including "http://" It failed to accept ones showing only "www.<whatever>" but would get them if I opened Dillo and typed or pasted the "www.<whatever> into it and hit enter. Now it fails both ways, with and without the full URL.) Pan still gets other browsers to find its links, if I make the change in its Edit > Preferences > Apps & Mail; Pine does if I change system preferences. Would changing color coding affect ability to browse?? Is FC5 suddenly having troubles passing URLs to Dillo that it didn't have before?? - Beartooth Staffwright, Wordcrafty Squirreler FC5; Pine 4.64, Pan 0.14.2.91; Privoxy 3.0.3; CXO 5.0.1 Dillo 0.8.5, Opera 8.54, Firefox 1.5, Galeon 2.0.1 Remember I have little idea what I am talking about.

Google SoC (omg deadline is today!)

by pete＠teamlupus.hu

hi all! Google Summer of Code is out and i think it's a great opportunity for Dillo to gain _paid_ developers. The project is very well presented, i think anybody with more or less knowledge can effectively contribute. Applying for a mentor organization is open for small(er than KDE, Gnome, FF, OOO) projects, too - i can see irssi on the list! more info about this: http://code.google.com/summerofcode.html ---- Péter PS: omg deadline is today! I just saw this, maybe not too late...

So that it's available for anyone searching in future: in case upgrading wget is not an option, a shell wrapper could be used to remove the offending arguments before the real wget sees them. The following in $HOME/bin/wget (by which I mean, "earlier in $PATH that the real command") seems to work for me. == #!/bin/bash # wrapper to remove unwanted option+argument # before calling real_cmd # For when older version does not use newer option real_cmd=/usr/bin/wget count=0 while [ $# -gt 0 ] do case "$1" in --load-cookies) shift;shift ;; *) args[$count]="$1";shift ;; esac count=$(($count+1)) done "$real_cmd" "${args[@]}" == I used /bin/bash, but any bourne-alike with arrays should work -- quick tests on zsh, pdksh, and ksh here indicate they seem fine too. It's not a perfect replacement -- wget accepts unambiguous shorter versions of options which this one doesn't. And I think that wget accepts --load-cookies=file as well, so it can be just one argument. But current dillo usage doesn't do that. Because of that, it may be better to call this "dillowget" and adjust download*c to use that instead of wget in cases where it matters. For most people, of course, things will Just Work. But now google might help someone searching for "dillo download fails silently". Cheers, f -- Francis Daly francis(a)daoine.org

dillo on the ps2

by robert w hall

Better news attached Read and respond to this message at: https://playstation2-linux.com/forum/message.php?msg_id=49519 By: cronocloud the default kit wget is apparently 1.5.3 from 1998! I'd never even thought about upgrading it. (just like I never thought about upgrading vi/vim even though I use it a lot until quite recently) I grabbed wget 1.10.2 and installed it, you have to compile it with gcc3. That fixed the problem with dillo (it downloads properly and displays that nice little progress bar) so it was a problem with the kit's wget being too old. Good detective work. And another plus is I'm actually logged in here with it. I appreciate the Dillo-devs work. -- robert w hall
