Are there not > enough existing web browsers whose goals are to render pages really > really fast? Oh, which ones ? On my P 120, which is my only computer, I tried mozilla and its derivatives - they filled up my 56 Mb of RAM just for loading and took a dozen of minutes to show up even a simple page. This without counting the megabytes they took on my hard-drive. So I had a few choices : either switch back to Windows 98 and Internet Explorer, which *is* in comparison damn fast, or use Lynx on my Debian. Or finding another fast linux-graphical browser. I browsed the net. I tested "browsers" like Chimera2, that no one ever heard about, and was very upset with every browser I tried until I found Dillo. Even if Dillo is very strict regarding HTML compliance of pages, it is, as far as I know, the only Linux graphical browser working correctly on legacy computers. > But I have other things to worry about, and you have > other browsers to choose from that render Slashdot just fine. Yes - it works fine with Lynx. I guess maybe we pushed the issue a little too hard - after all, Slashdot is not the only website that doesn't display correctly on Dillo. As the development philosophy is "stick to the standards", I think we shouldn't care too much about badly formatted pages. Maybe by version 1.0 we can include some kind of "render_uglily_coded_webpage" function to deal with that, but as far as I'm concerned I'm very happy with dillo the way it is. I guess for people like me, who use old computers in everyday's life, using Dillo+Lynx is a very good way of accessing a great part of the web resources.

Not directly; since FLTK is based heavily on C++, the easiest way to bind C code to a FLTK-based UI is to do the UI in C++ and provide specific C bindings to/from that UI interface. It might also be possible to generate a whole C binding library to FLTK, but that would be a rather large project and keeping things in sync would be a bitch. > 2.- Unicode, UTF-8. > This was the main reason for considering GTK2.

Rendering of certain languages will likely need work, since the initial version will not likely support the rewriting rules needed for languages like Arabic, Hindi, Vietnamese, etc. Those add a lot of bloat, and coming up with a space/time efficient solution will be a challenge for another day... > 3.- Antialiasing. > Is it possible?

Yes, via subclassing (which actually makes it a lot simpler than GTK and other toolkits...) There is an excellent table widget in the links pages that Erco has been working on and which will eventually be part of FLTK. The current FLTK layout mechanism is infinitely flexible, but takes a little getting used to since there are no layout "hints", just resizeable widgets inside groups. In short, you group widgets (and sometimes create empty "box" widgets) to get the layout behavior you want. This is actually a lot faster than the older Motif-style layout stuff that GTK+ uses... There are specialized group widgets (Fl_Pack, Fl_Tile, etc.) that provide for special positioning/resizing capabilities separate from the user resizing the window. There is currently no support in 1.x for dynamically-sized labels (e.g. resize a button to hold the localized text), so right now you need to design your UI to leave enough space. FLTK 2.x CVS has some support for this via the specialized Layout widget. > 5.- Keyboard bindings > Is it possible to customize keyboard bindings? Keyboard bindings are generally "compiled in", but your app can override them quite easily.

FLTK and Dillo (fwd)

Oct. 18, 2003

Hi guys! Here's a copy of an email I sent to Michael Sweet (maintainer of FLTK). Hold your breath and I'll forward the answers! Cheers Jorge.- ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 16 Oct 2003 17:59:23 -0300 (CLST) From: Jorge Arellano Cid <jcid(a)dillo.org> To: mike(a)easysw.com Subject: FLTK and Dillo Hi Michael! Brief: is it possible to port Dillo to FLTK? We were following our plan to port dillo from GTK1 (currently used TK) to GTK2, when one of our list subscribers suggested considering FLTK because of shared philosophy backgrounds: > [...] > IMHO considering Dillo's concentration on speed and stability, it seems > like it would be more appropriate to port the future Dillo to fltk not > fat bloated GTK2.0. I made a skim visit to FLTK's home and it looked far from being able to supply what we need, but then I came across this comment of yours: <q> "First, the current 1.x release of FLTK is portable to all systems using X11 and has "native" support for Windows and OSX, too. The whole low-level interface to the window system is abstracted via a very thin layer within FLTK, which means that you can easily port it to other environments (there is a version of FLTK for many of the Linux-based PDAs, for example.) The 2.0 release of FLTK (currently in development) will actually have separate modules (a la GDK in the GTK+ world) that implement the device class for various interfaces - X11, Quartz, WIN32, any of several framebuffer APIs, etc. Second, there is a version of FLTK 1.1.x that uses UTF-8 for input and display of Unicode; this will also be part of 2.0." </q> And things started to look interesting... I started a thread on our mailing list to ask for comments from the other developers (subject FLTK): http://news.gmane.org/thread.php?group=gmane.comp.web.dillo.devel I beleive that if it's possible to port Dillo to FLTK, it'd be a great step ahead for both projects. Now, you being the project maintainer of FLTK are among the best ones to ask! :-) In general terms, here're our main concerns: 1.- C bindings. Dillo is written in C while FLTK in C++, is there a way to bind C code with FLTK? 2.- Unicode, UTF-8. This was the main reason for considering GTK2. Is FLTK ready to render Unicode characters? 3.- Antialiasing. Is it possible? 4.- Tables, layout? and extensibility This is maybe the core of it. Currently dillo not only uses GTK1's widgets, but has its own set: dillo widgets or Dw. These Dw are embedded into GTK1 widgets, and Dw can also embedd GTK1 widgets. Can we do something alike with FLTK? 5.- Keyboard bindings Is it possible to customize keyboard bindings? 6.- Copy&Paste (clipboard) Does FLTK provide this? Can it be extended with our custom widgets inside Dillo? That's the core of the problem (AFAIS). It'd be great if we can collaborate to make it happen. Please feel free to answer to me, or to the FLTK thread in our list (it doesn't require a subscription). I'll be looking forward to hear from you. Sincerely Jorge.- http://www.dillo.org/

I think these observations are basically irrelevant to most GTK+-2.x applications.

Small GTK+-2.0 programs load in a few tenths of a second and malloc maybe ~600k of memory on X11.

[PATCH] Interface patch
by Johan Hovold Oct. 17, 2003

Oct. 17, 2003

Hi! Here's my patch that adds a search feature and makes a few minor modifications to dillo's interface. - Added search dialog. - Added search button to location bar. - Hidable using show_search preference. - Added cache for search, findtext and open url dialogs. - Added selection of contents upon opening of search, findtext and open url dialogs. - Added selection of text upon shortcut focusing of location bar. - Added deactivation of Ctrl-L in full screen mode. - Added focusing of document window at full screen mode activation. - Added shortcut (ESC) to focus document window. - Accelerators - Ctrl-L, focus location bar. - Ctrl-Shift-L, open url dialog. - Ctrl-S, open search dialog - Z, back - X, forward - ESC, focus document window Most of this has been discussed already in (http://lists.auriga.wearlab.de/pipermail/dillo-dev/2003-June/000781.html) but some additional motivations goes below. Jorge, if you don't agree with me on the shortcut issue, please change them as you prefer. If you don't like the text selection parts, it's easily disabled in the corresponding open dialog callback. Cheers, Johan Some motivations: ================= - Selection of text upon opening of Open Url dialog. - Dialog most likely to be used to enter _new_ urls, hence the previous url should be cleared or should be easy to clear. - By selecting the previous url, it is easily cleared but also easily modifed, if desired. - Selection of text upon shortcut focusing of location bar, and upon opening of find text and search dialog. - As above, by selecting the text, it is easily cleared and also easily modified. - Common behaviour in other applications. - Added cache for search, findtext and open url dialogs. - Previously the text was cleared if you hit cancel (but not otherwise). Accelerators - Ctrl-L/Ctrl-Shift-L, focus locationbar/open url dialog - Partially overlapping functionality (hence shortcuts should be similar). - Use of location bar makes dialog (almost) redundant (hence ctrl-shift for open dialog). - Shortcuts also found in Mozilla. - Ctrl-U interferes with GTK's Delete line shortcut. - F11, fullscreen - De facto standard shortcut for full screen browsing. - Probably not one of the most used shortcuts, why the more awkward F11 key may be used instead of a quicker Ctrl-<key> shortcut. - Ctrl-H interferes with GTK Delete Backward Character shortcut. - Z/X, back/forward - These shortcuts will enable quick back/forw without having to move the left hand (from the left hand side of the keyboard) or to move the right hand from the mouse (assuming the majority of dillos users are right handed). - ESC, focus document window - Added as requested. - Temporary workaround for GTK focus issue?

> > Any comments?, anyone wants the patches? > > Good idea. Wheres the patches? This weekend i'll prepare the patches, i'll setup a site for all the stuff also. The dpi autoloading for dillo is quite safe, it works even with current plugins without much changes (just in the name of dpi executables). For example: We can do this: url = a_Url_new("dpi:/bm/", NULL, 0, 0); a_Nav_push(bw, url); This will load the bookmarks dpi, but it asumes certain format of the dpi exacurable, this can be replaced with a list of dpi executable -> dpi name list on the config file. It will asume dpiname_srv, thus the bookmarks dpi will be bm_srv. The modification dosen't changes the actual cominications of dpi<-->dillo, only adds dpi autoloading. The patches changes only: capi.c a_Capi_open_url() a_Capi_dpi_send_cmd IO/dpi.c a_Dpi_ccc Dpi_launch_server That's all, see ya the weekend. By the way, who is in charge of the Downloads Plugin? I 'm also working on it, soo if i can help on something, just drop a mail. Cheers Carlos Daniel Ruvalcaba Valenzuela _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Gill) writes: > For a while, users of Dillo (<http://www.dillo.org>) have been > having trouble reading Slashdot (<http://slashdot.org>). Looks > like a misplaced </td></tr> is to blame. Anybody want to > pester Cowboy Neal? Well, this is one of the fun things about working on a public project: I get bug reports through more than just the usual channels. Hi, I'm Jamie, I'm the one who wrote the bug, and I'm the one who will get around to fixing it... eventually. There's no immediately simple way to fix the HTML. What's going on is actually kind of interesting. Slashdot runs on Slash, which is a publicly available project used on hundreds of other websites. The look of Slashdot and its front-page table layout is fairly different under the hood from the layout of "Slashcode," which is the default theme that we ship. These differences are mostly encoded in template files, which are data chunks arranged mostly hierarchically that can be selected in all kinds of interesting ways. That means, sadly, that changing one template has many repercussions. Obviously I know where the buggy HTML output is; that's what that commented-out  tag is doing there. But I have to think about what that change would do not just to Slashdot, but to the Slashcode theme generically, to the sites that use that theme as-is, to the dozen other sites my company runs that have modified that theme, to the who-knows how many other sites that strangers run that have modified that theme, to "light mode," to the three or four separate scripts that use the template, I have to test with the pre-rendering caching, etc., etc. Slashdot's HTML layout has always been broken. Early this year I took it upon myself to fix it and quickly realized that there was no good way to fix just Slashdot, without either breaking Slashcode as well or introducing a large number of copy-and-pasted code as a difference between the two that would have to be maintained. What I did instead was write code for the Template Toolkit that lets these dozens of templates build the HTML tables dynamically. As new <TR> and <TD> tags are laid out, variables are incremented and decremented. By the time we get to the bottom of the page, the code knows how many <TD>s and <TR>s it's got to close, and how, in order to make the HTML all nice and pristine. That way, Slashdot.org and Slashcode.com can have wholly different columnar layouts and the low-level templates don't have to know about any of it. The CPU overhead is minimal, and overall it works great. Except there's one bug. It doesn't keep proper track of the tables it's building. It dumps errors in the log so I know about where it is. But it's difficult to narrow down. In my defense, it was broken before I wrote this code, and while it's still broken now, it's broken *less*. But it's broken *differently* and of course there is one browser that (unlike every other browser ever written) isn't smart enough to handle malformed table tags. <http://www.dillo.org/> This is the part where I rhetorically ask why anyone would write a web browser from scratch, the goal of which is to render 100% syntactically correct webpages really really fast. Are there not enough existing web browsers whose goals are to render pages really really fast? Is it perhaps not widely known that there exists, somewhere on the web, HTML code which just might not be 100% exactly correct? Is it smart to build a nitro-burning funny car dragster to carry your groceries and then complain to mailing lists about the potholes on Main Street? When version 0.7.2 of the funny car handled the potholes just fine, but 0.7.3 explodes on contact, should its designers necessarily be focused entirely on the potholes? And should anyone be surprised that writing a web browser is hard? If I could find a way to ask those questions without sounding like I was shifting the blame off my own fool self, I would. It's one of those things that is probably a nice easy single day of work. But I can't remember the last time I actually had a whole day to work on something. Our new load balancer is choking our webheads with unACK'd SYN's and I'm not sure whose fault it is. (And of course the new load balancer is named "pound," only the most common word in the English language, so good luck Googling for anyone else with the same problems.) Our new sites being launched are extending the code in ways it wasn't built for and we're having to scramble. DB replication on one of those new sites went down this morning, and while we built some kickass code to failover to the master, we hadn't had time to get that running yet. Oh, and either my ISP or my home router/gateway is flaky, so I keep falling off the internet. And of course, the day after I fix the HTML 3.2 table layout bug, I am quite certain my boss will email me to say it's finally time to start working on the switch to XHTML and CSS, which we've been planning for a year and just haven't had time for. So yes, I'd love to fix your bug. I don't like emitting broken HTML code either. I'm a big fan of adhering to standards, and I'm a big fan of not having my code embarrass me in public. I hate feeling like a jackass. But I have other things to worry about, and you have other browsers to choose from that render Slashdot just fine.

The FLTK idea is certainly an insteresting issue to analize. The porting task would be far from simple (if possible at all). Dillo does not only uses GTK+ for the user interface but for HTML rendering. Dillo has its own widget system (Dw), that's embedded inside GTK+ widgets, and that at its turn can also embedd GTK+ widgets again. This is the core of the porting problem. The main reason for porting dillo to GTK+2 (instead of sticking to 1.2.10) is Unicode support (explained in the [Project Notes] link). And yes, I've been somewhat scared by the size of GTK+2. For instance in Slackware it jumps from 4Mb to 17Mb! Now, considering that FLTK has Unicode support, gathering more information becomes an interesting thing to do. I don't know FLTK :(, but here is a list with some preliminary concerns (AFAIK): * Does it provide C bindings, or is for C++ only? * Does it have a table widget or similar to GTK+'s layout? * Can it be extended with Dw in the way stated above? * Unicode and antialiasing support status? Please don't get me wrong. This email is just a RFC to make a more informed decision on the issue. The current plan is to go with GTK+2, but if this path shows better, things can change. This is also an RFC for information on GTK+2 (speed, size, linkings etc). Please back your opinions with links, docs, facts or with whatever helps better to understand the point. Maybe a single email can show there's no way to do it, or maybe not! Cheers Jorge.-

Fw: Slashdot's HTML fix (fwd)
by Jorge Arellano Cid Oct. 16, 2003

Oct. 16, 2003

Hi, Here I quote the email Andreas sent to Rob Malda with regard to Slashdot's HTML (rendering problems). We haven't got an answer, so if you can contact Rob, please do so. I have tried. Currently also with gnu-darwin's maintainer we're trying to contact Slashdot's webmasters with a view to fix it. The problem is that we don't have anything but the generic email address, and surely it collects tons of emails. :( Please, if someone in this list has an inner track to /.'s webmasters, please help us to deliver this email. Cheers Jorge.- ---------------------------------------------------------------- Begin forwarded message: Date: Mon, 29 Sep 2003 17:07:31 +0200 From: Andreas Kemnade <akemnade(a)informatik.uni-bremen.de> To: malda(a)slashdot.org Subject: Slashdot's HTML fix Hello Rob, I (and many others) have some problems reading http://slashdot.org/ with dillo (http://www.dillo.org) It was ok for years but since some weeks the page is almost completely unreadable. Screenshot: http://users.auriga.wearlab.de/~andi/slash2.png Seeing so much black is really depressing ;-) tidy (a html cleanup program from the w3c) shows lots of warnings. But after tidy has cleaned up the html, dillo shows it almost correctly. After some more investigation, I have found the error which makes the page black:  <A HREF="//science.slashdot.org">Science</A>   3 more</TD></TR> <TR><TD >  <A HREF="//yro.slashdot.org">YRO</A></TD></TR> </TD></TR> ^^^^^^^^^^ There has to be only one </td></tr> pair. So it has to be this way:  <A HREF="//science.slashdot.org">Science</A>   3 more</TD></TR> <TR><TD >  <A HREF="//yro.slashdot.org">YRO</A></TD></TR>  without the extra </td></tr>. I guess after removing that table, you have forgotten the </td></tr>. Screenshot with that correction: http://users.auriga.wearlab.de/~andi/slash1.png It looks quite nice again. I hope you can easily find the html bug in the perl code. You'll make a lot of dillo users happy and the page a bit more W3C compiliant. Greetings Andreas Kemnade PS: Your site http://CmdrTaco.net/ also looks nice with dillo.

If Pango is the problem, again, before changing the underlying widget system, perhaps some investigation in concert with the Pango developers should be done to see if there's some way to optimize dillo or Pango.

This error is present in the CVS version of Dillo as well, but there it does not matter much (probably why it was not discovered before). In menu.c:Menu_add(): if (callback != NULL) { gtk_signal_connect(GTK_OBJECT(menuitem), "activate", (GtkSignalFunc) Menu_pick_url, data); ^^^^ "data" should be "bw", as Menu_pick_url() needs a BrowserWindow* as second parameter. In CVS Dillo "data" (which is used as user data for callbacks) happens to be always set to "bw", so this bug did not manifest itself. In the patched version, some callbacks expect a DilloDoc* as parameter though... So Menu_pick_url() is called with a DilloDoc* instead of a BrowserWindow*... The fix is simple: <PATCH> diff -pruN dillo/src/menu.c dillo_patched/src/menu.c --- dillo/src/menu.c 2003-09-25 15:10:24.000000000 +0200 +++ dillo_patched/src/menu.c 2003-10-16 14:56:38.733763968 +0200 @@ -109,7 +109,7 @@ static GtkWidget * } if (callback != NULL) { gtk_signal_connect(GTK_OBJECT(menuitem), "activate", - (GtkSignalFunc) Menu_pick_url, data); + (GtkSignalFunc) Menu_pick_url, bw); gtk_signal_connect(GTK_OBJECT(menuitem), "activate", (GtkSignalFunc) callback, data); } </PATCH> Jorge, can you commit this patchlet to CVS?

[PATCH] version 11 of tab/frame patch, added keyboard navigation
by Frank de Lange Oct. 16, 2003

Oct. 16, 2003

Hi'all, The next version (11) of my tab patch is ready (see bottom of this message for download instructions). The big new features are keyboard navigation and configurable key bindings (currently only for keyboard navigation and scrolling, more will be added later). See below for more information on these features. Keyboard navigation is also available in a separate patch, for those who do not want to apply the tab/frame patch. Watch the mailing list and/or see the patch website (http://www.geocities.com/ikbenfrank/) for more information. New features: - keyboard navigation! - configurable key bindings (for keyboard navigation and scrolling) Fixed bugs - solved the 'missing frames' problem for German (and other?) users. Stephan Goetter pointed me in the right direction (the German locale uses the "," as a decimal separator). Some behavioural changes with regard to stock (CVS) Dillo: - Shift-Ctrl-L (instead of Ctrl-L) for "open URL" dialog - Ctrl-L for "focus location bar" - Ctrl-S for "Save page As..." - Ctrl-U for "view source" while in a document, "clear entry" everywhere else (in stock Dillo this key is bound to "focus location bar" while in a document) - Ctrl-B for "Bookmark this page" - Alt-H for "Home" - "/" starts incremental search instead of normal search. For normal (non-incremental) search use Ctrl-F Support for the 0.7.3 branch has been dropped as of this version of this patch. Sorry, folks, but that is the price you pay for progress... Currently, both tab and frame support can be turned off completely, producing a smaller binary. I might (on request of other Dillo developers) remove the conditional compilation, thereby making tab and frame support a permanent feature of Dillo. If you want to keep the conditional compilation feature, speak out on the mailing list! Keyboard navigation can currently NOT be turned off, let me know if this is needed. Frameset (and iframe) support is enabled by default, it can be disabled using the configure option --enable-xhtml-dtd=strict. You can also use --enable-xhtml-dtd=transitional, which will give you iframe but no frameset support. The default option, --enable-xhtml-dtd=frameset, gives both iframe and frameset support. As usual, tab support can be disabled using --disable-tabs. What does not work yet: - the full_screen_off_button is not shown in frame documents. Use double-click instead to toggle the full screen setting... - the frameborder attribute works, but dw_gtk_scrolled_frame always draws a (focus) shadow around itself - even with the border size is set to 0. This can be solved in several ways - adding a 'borderless' attribute to dw_gtk_scrolled_frame, using a special borderless GTK theme for the widget, etc. In GTK2 this is all much easier (just set the widget's style's xthickness/ythickness to 0), but we're not there yet... - borderless frames can not be resized, even though Dillo always shows a thin border (see above). Who cares about resizing borderless frames? Mozilla does it, but I don't think this is an issue. Agree? - iframes always have a border (see above) Keyboard Navigation =================== You can use the keyboard to navigate links and controls in Dillo. In the default configuration, the following keys are used: Alt-Up: link UP Alt-Down: link DOWN Alt-Left: link LEFT Alt-Right: link RIGHT Enter: follow link or activate GTK+ widget Escape: unhighlight link In a non-frames version of Dillo the following keys are also used: Tab: NEXT link Shift-Tab: PREVIOUS link these keys are not bound by default in a frames-capable version of Dillo because they are used to navigate between frames. You are free to bind them (or any other key combination) to these functions though (see Keyboard bindings) Sometimes the result of link UP and link DOWN seems a bit unpredictable. This can happen when the next UP or DOWN link is currently not visible (below the bottom or above the top of the window). The screen coordinates for words are only known when they are in the visible area of the viewport, so off-screen links are accessed sequentially instead. Search and keyboard navigation ------------------------------ Keyboard navigation works with the Search feature: if search hits a link, it will be focused. Press <Enter> in the viewport to follow the link, <Esc> to unhighlight it. When using the status bar for search (an optional feature in the tabbed version of Dillo), press <Esc> to close the search entry followed by <Enter> to follow the link. A second <Esc> will unhighlight the focused link. Pressing <Enter> in the search entry (popup or status bar) repeats the search. History ------- The focus location is saved when navigating to another document in the same window or tab. This makes it possible to go back in history and continue to the next link on the page. Form fields ----------- The same keys used for link navigation work for form field navigation. Do note however that form fields, being embedded GTK+ widgets, can have their own bindings for some functions. As an example, the space bar is bound to the activate function in radio buttons. Keyboard bindings ================= It is possible to change the keyboard bindings used for keyboard navigation, either through editing the dillorc or by adding a section to any of the current GTK+ rc-files. The syntax is the same, the only difference is the addition of the preference keyword "key_bindings" in the dillorc and the fact that the bindings have to be enclosed in double quotes. An example of the configuration syntax can be found in the dillorc and on the mailing list. Tabs, Frames, Keyboard navigation and browser bloat =================================================== version: 0.8.0-pre patch: dillo-20031015-tabs.patch.gz unpatched: 294132 bytes patched, no tabs, no frames: 308404 bytes patched, with tabs, no frames: 315220 bytes patched, no tabs, with frames: 324852 bytes patched, with tabs, with frames: 333108 bytes (gcc 3.2.2, binutils 2.13.90.0.18, CFLAGS "-Os") The increase in size is due to the addition of keyboard navigation. If you want to be able to compile Dillo without this feature (it takes about 10 KB) let me know through the mailing list. Download instructions ===================== The patch is made against 20031014 CVS. Do not forget to run ./autogen.sh after applying the patch. You can find the patch on the usual (ad-happy, use an ad-blocking proxy or sane browser) site: http://www.geocities.com/ikbenfrank/ More specifically: Dillo 0.8.0-pre (CVS) ===================== http://www.geocities.com/ikbenfrank/dillo-20031015-tabs.patch.gz size: 85716 bytes (gzipped, as downloaded) 371416 bytes (uncompressed) md5sum: 358041a00feeef1706b81d24a985613a (gzipped, as downloaded) bf61b1bdb212c69c30ee1fa6fa74f729 (uncompressed) As always, check the site for the most recent version Cheers//Frank -- WWWWW ________________________ ## o o\ / Frank de Lange \ }# \| / +46-734352015 \ \ `--| _/ <Hacker for Hire> \ `---' \ +31-640037120 / \ frank(a)unternet.org / `------------------------' [ "Omnis enim res, quae dando non deficit, dum habetur et non datur, nondum habetur, quomodo habenda est." ]

Hi everyone It sems i lost a lot of the development cycle, now even plugins are implemented! Anyways, here is my wasted effort with dillo-0.7.3: * Fixed dpi.c capi.c, to handle launching multiple dpis via url, example dpi:/bm/ will launch bookmarks plaugs, dpi:/cfg/ will launch the configuration plugin. * Worked on dpilib a bunch of code to initialize comunications from a dpi to dillo, it works pretty well, also handles tag params, and url passed vars. * ddm_srv.c Dillo Download Manager, a download plugin using wget, will be able to download multiple files and show their progress in dpi:/ddm/downloads * cfg_srv.c Configuration, It can tweak a bunch of options for Dillo and DDM. Way back about a month i worked on a plugin daemon too. But with current changes i maded the daemon is not necesary, also dillo can load plugins if necesary. Any comments?, anyone wants the patches? Anyway, cheers. Carlos Daniel Ruvalcaba Valenzuela --------------------------------- Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Net: La mejor conexión a internet y 25MB extra a tu correo por $100 al mes.

Selection leak
by Jorge Arellano Cid Oct. 15, 2003

Oct. 15, 2003

Hi there! Finally the selection riddle is clear: there were some GTK+ warnings very seldomly appearing sometimes, but not in 0.7.3. In 0.7.3 one of the popups was being set as the permanent owner for all the selections, and it was initialized at browser window creation time. As 0.7.3 leaked the popups (not destroying them with the window) the widget remained valid all the time! In CVS the popup leak is fixed, so the selection owner can be destroyed with its window, and thus the warnings. I fixed it like I originally suggested: > Perhaps it'd be better to add a widget parameter to > a_Commands_set_selection: > > void a_Commands_set_selection(GtkWidget *widget, gchar *str) > > So we can set the owner properly. AFAIU the owner gets the > "clear selection" event on the handler it set. For instance, when > the user selects text from the location bar, the "clear > selection" callback is called. This can help to set a custom > handler for when the selected text comes from the rendered area. > This new handler can toggle the selection highlighting off, and > then call a_Commands_clear_selection_callback() to finish the > work. Sebastian: I used "GTK_BIN(bw->docwin)->child" as the selection owner for the rendered area. Is there a better candidate? Commited! Cheers Jorge.-

[PATCH] version 1 of keyboard navigation patch
by Frank de Lange Oct. 15, 2003

Oct. 15, 2003

Hi'all, The first version (1) of my keyboard navigation patch is ready. See the end of this message for download instructions. Do note that the tab/frame patch already contains this functionality, so there is no need (and no way) to apply this patch on top of that or the other way around. The patch adds Keyboard navigation with configurable key bindings to (the CVS version of) Dillo. Please test it and let me know what you (don't) like. Even though keyboard navigation does not make much sense with devices without keyboards (pda's, etc), there is no configure option to disable it. Let me know if there is a need for such an option (it is easily implementable). Personally I think there is... For keyboard navigation to work Dillo has to track the position of individual words in a document, which increases memory overhead with 4 bytes per word. However, there seems to be some animosity against the added complexity of conditionally compiled code (enclosed in #ifdef ... #endif). More information on keyboard navigation can be found in the document "Keyboard_Navigation.txt" in the doc/ directory which I'll just reproduce it here: Keyboard Navigation =================== You can use the keyboard to navigate links and controls in Dillo. In the default configuration, the following keys are used: Alt-Up: link UP Alt-Down: link DOWN Alt-Left: link LEFT Alt-Right: link RIGHT Enter: follow link or activate GTK+ widget Escape: unhighlight link In a non-frames version of Dillo the following keys are also used: Tab: NEXT link Shift-Tab: PREVIOUS link these keys are not bound by default in a frames-capable version of Dillo because they are used to navigate between frames.

Keyboard bindings ================= It is possible to change the keyboard bindings used for keyboard navigation, either through editing the dillorc or by adding a section to any of the current GTK+ rc-files. The syntax is the same, the only difference is the addition of the preference keyword "key_bindings" in the dillorc and the fact that the bindings have to be enclosed in double quotes. As an example, this configuration (in gtkrc) uses the numerical keypad for link navigation: binding "keypad-keys" { bind "KP_Add" { "focus_move" (0) } bind "KP_Subtract" { "focus_move" (1) } bind "KP_8" { "focus_move" (2) } bind "KP_2" { "focus_move" (3) } bind "KP_4" { "focus_move" (4) } bind "KP_6" { "focus_move" (5) } bind "KP_Enter" { "focus_activate" () } } class "GtkDwScrolledFrame" binding "keypad-keys" You can also use 'widget "*dillo-content" instead of 'class "GtkDwScrolledFrame" if you prefer to use widget names: widget "*dillo-content" binding "keypad-keys" This one (in dillorc, note the enclosing double quotes, the use of single quotes and the preference name 'key_bindings') makes Dillo behave like the vi editor when it comes to link navigation: key_bindings = "binding 'vi-keys' { bind 'k' { 'focus_move' (2) } bind 'j' { 'focus_move' (3) } bind 'h' { 'focus_move' (4) } bind 'l' { 'focus_move' (5) } } class 'GtkDwScrolledFrame' binding 'vi-keys'" The numerical values after "focus_move" are actually GTK enumeration values, but the current implementation does not support this. It would of course look much better to be able to write "focus_move" (GTK_DIR_DOWN) instead of "focus_move" (3)... It is also possible to bind a sequence of actions to a single keypress by adding more actions after the first. Bugz^Hs ======= - Image links without alt text do not work with keyboard navigation. - Image links with alt text work, but Dillo is currently not able to scroll to them. This can lead to 'hidden' focused links, use the scroll keys or scroll bars to bring them in to view. This problem is shared with the Search feature. It is caused by a deficiency in the widget iterator function which is used for scrolling. - The sometimes unpredictable behaviour of link UP/DOWN can be classified as a bug. Or not. It is probably hard to solve this. The root cause is the use of incremental display in dw_page, which is in itself a good feature. To good to mess it up with some hack to get each and every link in the right place before using keyboard navigation. TODO ==== Well, apart from fixing those bugs... Maybe merge focus with search, they have quite a lot in common. This would save some code and memory. It would also mess up the current design, so maybe this is not such a good idea. Add more GTK+ bindings, replacing current key_press event handling. ... Download instructions ===================== There is currently only one version of the patch, made against 20031014 CVS. Sorry, no 0.7.3 support (yet...). As always, have a look at the patch website (http://www.geocities.com/ikbenfrank/) for the latest version of the patch. This patch does NOT apply on top of the tab/frame patch, and the tab/frame patch does not apply on top of this one! The tab/frame patch already contains this functionality, so it is not needed. Also, there is some overlap in the patched files, so I'd have to create a special version of this patch for this purpose. http://www.geocities.com/ikbenfrank/dillo-200310142300-kbnav.patch.gz size: 14336 bytes (gzipped, as downloaded) 62481 bytes (uncompressed) md5sum: 06c21168960cc5de12437ab4abff6d45 (gzipped, as downloaded) a1317f63190ad0df9501bbb257f8c137 (uncompressed) Cheers//Frank -- WWWWW ________________________ ## o o\ / Frank de Lange \ }# \| / +46-734352015 \ \ `--| _/ <Hacker for Hire> \ `---' \ +31-640037120 / \ frank(a)unternet.org / `------------------------' [ "Omnis enim res, quae dando non deficit, dum habetur et non datur, nondum habetur, quomodo habenda est." ] -- WWWWW ________________________ ## o o\ / Frank de Lange \ }# \| / \ \ `--| _/ <Hacker for Hire> \ `---' \ +46-734352015 / \ frank(a)unternet.org / `------------------------' [ "Omnis enim res, quae dando non deficit, dum habetur et non datur, nondum habetur, quomodo habenda est." ]

table-layour revisited
by Ralph Slooten Oct. 10, 2003

Oct. 10, 2003

Hi there all, I posted a while back a bug-report to which I got no reply. This may have been due to me not making myself clear. I'll try again When making a table with a specific width all GUI browsers render this the same, like: <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="800"> This gives a table looking like this <--- 800px ---> ------------------------------------------ |table contents | ------------------------------------------ This is no problem with Dillo and other browsers, as they are exactly the same. However when cellpadding and cellspacing are used, like: <table cellpadding="10" cellspacing="10" width="800"> the table should look like this <--- 800px ---> ------------------------------------------ | | | table contents | | | ------------------------------------------ Dillo renders this still incorrectly, by _expending_ the table in width looking like this <--- 820px ---> ---------------------------------------------- | | | table contents | | | ---------------------------------------------- Why is this? Many sites use tables to gain a specific layout in all browsers which I credit them for, but this page layout is altered by this (what I believe to be a) bug. Or am I incorrect as to the specs of html and tables? Greetings Ralph -- http://axljab.homelinux.org/ "...the software said Win95 or better, so I installed Linux"

[RFC] Configurable keybindings
by Frank de Lange Oct. 10, 2003

Oct. 10, 2003

Hi'all, In my quest for keyboard navigation (which works quite well by now btw) I have come upon Dillo's current inability to define custom keyboard bindings (except for menu bindings). GTK+ offers a mechanism to implement user-configurable keyboard mappings (Bindings) which could be used to add this feature to Dillo. I have made a sample implementation using bindings for GtkDwScrolledFrame, which shows the mechanism to work as it should. The resulting object code is slightly smaller than in the current CVS version, but the source is larger (mainly because of the huge list of 'gtk_binding_entry_add_signal9...0 calls for every key combination). To use the mechanism, widgets need to have signals defined for all user actions. In GtkDwScrolledFrame's case this meant adding "viewport_move" (which replaces the unused user_hchanged and user_vchanged signals), "cursor_move", "cursor_hide" and "cursor_activate" (the latter three for keyboard navigation; it is debatable whether these signals belong in GtkDwScrolledFrame or should move to GtkDwViewport). Keybindings are assigned through GTK+ rc-files or through the dillorc. As an example, this configuration (in gtkrc) uses the numerical keypad for link navigation: binding "keypad-keys" { bind "KP_Add" { "cursor_move" (0) } bind "KP_Subtract" { "cursor_move" (1) } bind "KP_8" { "cursor_move" (2) } bind "KP_2" { "cursor_move" (3) } bind "KP_4" { "cursor_move" (4) } bind "KP_6" { "cursor_move" (5) } bind "KP_Enter" { "cursor_activate" () } } class "GtkDwScrolledFrame" binding "keypad-keys" This one (in dillorc, note the enclosing double quotes and the preference name key_bindings) makes Dillo behave like the vi editor when it comes to link navigation: key_bindings = "binding 'vi-keys' { bind 'k' { 'cursor_move' (2) } bind 'j' { 'cursor_move' (3) } bind 'h' { 'cursor_move' (4) } bind 'l' { 'cursor_move' (5) } } class 'GtkDwScrolledFrame' binding 'vi-keys'" (numerical values after "cursor_move" are actually GTK enumeration values, but the current implementation does not support this. It would of course look much better to be able to write "cursor_move" (GTK_DIR_DOWN) instead of "cursor_move" (3)...) Now I could just add this functionality to the keyboard_navigation patch, or put it in a separate patch. However, since there seems to be some animosity against adding yet even more configuration options, I'd like to know if there is any interest in this feature. If not, I'll just keep things as they are and hardcode some sane defaults (ie. something I like...). In that case, those who want to change keyboard bindings can do it the way they have always done by hacking the source. Any suggestions?

Well, if you're using dillo 0.7.3, you have a big problem: that version is SSL unaware. If you're using current CVS, https URLs may be started by dpid, but not with the procedure you describe. It may be that a delayed connection from a previous page could have made it happen. If you can reproduce the window-popup right after the splash, you're probably under attack or something akin.

[RFC] Keyboard navigation
by Frank de Lange Oct. 7, 2003

Oct. 7, 2003

Hi'all, I'm currently adding keyboard navigation to Dillo. A quick search on the web produces loads of opinions on which keys to use for what purpose, how to navigate using the keyboard, etc. The w3c has produced some guidelines for 'accessibility' (http://www.w3.org/WAI/UA/sect508-UAAG.html#keyboard) which I will take into account for this feature, and the Mozilla project has done quite a bit of brainstorming on the subject. This is a request for some comments from current Dillo users/developers on what you would like Dillo to be like in this respect. My plan is to implement basic keyboard navigation for links and other content which can be activated (input fields, checkboxes, buttons, etc). For this I already have a working implementation. I will probably add accesskey support as well. Currently I use the cursor keys plus a modifier (now CTRL, will probably switch to ALT/META) to navigate to the nearest link (up/down/left/right), while the TAB key navigates sequentially through all 'activatable' content. Shift-TAB should do the same in reverse, but this is currently not working as it should. Enter activates the current link (embedded GTK+ widgets have their own conventions for this, eg. radiobuttons can *also* be selected using the spacebar, etc...). The find feature will be able to set the current focused link (not implemented yet). If you have any suggestions on this subject, send them to the list. Should this feature be optional? On devices without a keyboard (many PDA's) keyboard navigation does not help much after all... On the other hand, the generalised 'focus' mechanism I've added to the viewport can be used for other purposes as well.

RPMs for Conectiva 8
by Kelson Vibber Oct. 6, 2003

Oct. 6, 2003

I finally figured out what was preventing Dillo from building on my User-Mode Linux installation of Conectiva 8, so RPMs are now available for both the plain 0.7.3 release and 0.7.3 with tabs+frames patch version 10. Unfortunately, I have not been able to get the virtual network working on this instance, so I cannot route X to my actual desktop to test it. If anyone on this list has a copy of Conectiva 8, I'd appreciate it if you would try both RPMs and verify that the packaged version of Dillo works correctly (or at least as correctly as it does when you build it yourself) and that an icon appears in the KDE/Gnome menus. http://www.hyperborea.org/software/dillo/ On a related note, before I figured out what was missing from my UML installation of Conectiva 8, I decided to try installing an actual copy on spare partition space - and watched it wipe out my primary root partition, my home partition, and my download/media partition. After a long night I was able to recover both data partitions, but I had to reinstall my primary OS. (Not a big deal, since I had my configuration files and my critical data backed up - and I got the rest of my data back.) As a result, I have decided not to install any more distributions directly on that system, so unless/until I can set up a spare system solely for trying things out, anything else I build RPMs for will run under User-Mode Linux (At this point, 5 of the 10 distributions I build RPMs for are running under UML). If there's a pre-built filesystem available, or if it's supported directly by UMLBuilder, it should be easy (assuming I can get the install files). However, for Conectiva 9 or the upcoming Mandrake 9.2 and SuSE 9, I will need to experiment a bit with either building filesystems myself or creating a profile for use with UMLBuilder. (And any SuSE distribution is complicated by the fact that they only provide FTP-based installation unless you buy the boxed set.) The one exception is Fedora Core 1. My current primary OS is Red Hat 9, and I will probably upgrade to Fedora when it's released, assuming they don't rip out anything major. (I was planning to install the latest beta on a spare partition, but I'm a bit reluctant to do that now.) Kelson Vibber www.hyperborea.org

Oct. 6, 2003

Hello. I created a patch that adds Mozilla-like "Smart Bookmarks". Smart bookmarks make searching on the web much more convenient. There are two patches attached to this message. The first one is for vanilla dillo 0.7.3, the second one is for dillo 0.7.3 patched with the tabs/frames patch and the SSL patch. The following sample configuration lines should be added to your dillorc file: #------------------------------------------------------------------------- # SMART BOOKMARKS SECTION #------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Use "g dillo" as the URL to search google for "dillo". # The keyword may consist only of alpha-numeric characters and must be # separated from the URL with a semicolon. The URL must contain # the "%s" sequence, which will be replaced with the parameter following # the keyword. smart_bookmark="g;http://www.google.com/search?&q=%s" smart_bookmark="fm;http://freshmeat.net/search/?q=%s&section=projects" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SNIP ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hopefully someone will find the patch useful.

Dillo Configuration
by Ringwraith Oct. 3, 2003

Oct. 3, 2003

I'd first like to say thanks for Dillo, its sooo great loading the complete list of CPAN modules in less than 2 seconds, as compared with the nice 5 to 10 seconds with mozilla/firebird :) I do not know if this has been discussed but: One thing I noticed, as Dillo matures, it will obviously need a configuration/preferences menu. I am really starting to get pissed off (pardon lang) at how other browsers use the standard toolkit based widgets to do their configuration. This, IMHO, with the features of today's browsers, clutters up the user interface and causes bloat with the browser. I think having a PURE html interface to doing web browser configuration would do two important things: 1. Gives the flexibility to have a feature rich browser while maintain simplicity. It is a web browser, 90% of the user interface is a web page, so why not make the GUI something the user is familiar with. 2. Reduces bloat. IMHO not so much importantly, 3. Allows for nice customization (themes) of the user interface by someone who knows HTML and vi w/o having to recompile dillo. ;) I am considering to attempt to make a module for the configuration of Dillo that will do this: 1. Configure all aspect of the browser including the (upcoming?) plugin support. 2. Allow pluggable configuration. If plugins have any configurable options (sometimes they do), they will also be configurable using the interface. This module would be accessed through something like: config:// or about:config (i like config:// much better) It would obviously have some security built in so that no one can pull a IE type trick on us and be able to do things they shouldn't. Anyhow this is just a brainstorm, what are your thoughts on doing something like this?

tab/frame patch ver. 10 makes huge binary?

Oct. 3, 2003

Hi I've been running Dillo 0.7.3 from a rpm on a Redhat 9.0 for a while, but wanted to try out the tab/frame patch. So I downloaded the Dillo tarball, applied the patch, ran configure, make and make install. No problem. Since the tarball suggest /usr/local/bin and the rpm-version /usr/bin I'm able to have both versions simultaneously. However: *** ls -lh /usr/bin/dillo -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 297K <blah blah> ls -lh /usr/local/bin/dillo -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3.4M <blah blah> *** A twelve fold increase in size!!!!?

Hi'all, Those of you who have tried my tab/frames patch will know that I usually make all 'extra' features optional. This allows those who {do not {need|like}|can not afford} those features to leave them out of the resulting binary. However, it also makes the code somewhat more complex, as the optional features are enabled/disabled through conditional compilation (#ifdef/#ifndef....#endif). The space saved by leaving out tabs and frames is currently about 25 kilobytes (Kib, kB, KB, choose your acronym...). I have gotten some comments on this, suggesting the removal of these conditional statements. This way, Dillo would ALWAYS have the extra features (tabs and frames). Before I say 'yes' or 'no' to these suggestions, I'd like to know what your thoughts are on this. So, speak up. Have a look at the code (look for #ifdef XHTML_DTD_... and #ifndef DISABLE_FRAMES) and tell me whether the savings in space are worth the added complexity... BTW, I do not mind either way... As always, look for the patch at http://www.geocities.com/ikbenfrank A new patch, with some new functionality (sorry Sebastian, functionality was added before you asked me not to add anything new...) will be ready soon. It improves upon the way frame margins are handled, adds an alternative for the find and load popup menu, and includes 'find as you type' (or 'incremental search'). Small parts of the patch (image menu, hand cursor, fixes to widgets) are slowly been added to CVS now. If you want to see the rest added as well, help me out and provide some feedback...

Problems with cookies

Hi ! I am using dillo 0.7.3 on my gentoo box, and it just works great! It's fast, does good rendering, short: I like it One thing bugs me though, it does not save cookies from any message boards (PHPBB). I have cookies enabled (DEFAULT ACCEPT in cookiesrc, file cookies does exist), but still: No writing. I have just noticed google does place a cookie, so it isn't entirely borked. Hey, how can i change this? It would rally make that browser perfect :) Thanks for answer & cu

[PATCH] Version 10 of tab/frame patch is ready...
by Frank de Lange Sept. 27, 2003

Sept. 27, 2003

Hi'all, The next version (10) of my tab patch is ready (see bottom of this message for download instructions). Control over margins in (i)frames has been improved (no more extraneous margin space in iframe). Dillo (when configured for frameset support) now always renders frameset - even when body content is placed outside the frameset. Frame resize support has been improved a bit. Worked around a bug in GtkContainer which messed up the 'tab' order (focus got stuck in GtkToolbar widgets). Improved/corrected focus handling in dw_gtk_scrolled_frame. New features: - interactive search ('find as you type') on "/" key - new preference: popup_dialogs=([YES]/NO) when set to NO the status bar and location bar are used for search and open URL. Open file and save file still use popup dialogs, though. Changed preferences from previous versions of patch: - frame_blank_in_tab and tab_on_middle_click are now merged into a new preference: tab_instead_of_window=(YES/[NO]) - document_title_use_url is gone, this functionality is now default - (for those who downloaded the interim-patch with find_as_you_type) find_as_you_type is gone, this functionality is bound by default to the "/" key. Use Ctrl-F for normal (non-interactive) search Some behavioural changes with regard to stock (CVS) Dillo: - Shift-Ctrl-L (instead of Ctrl-L) for "open URL" dialog - Ctrl-L for "focus location bar" - Ctrl-S for "Save page As..." - Ctrl-U for "view source" while in a document, "clear entry" everywhere else (in stock Dillo this key is bound to "focus location bar" while in a document) - Ctrl-B for "Bookmark this page" - Alt-H for "Home" - "/" starts incremental search instead of normal search. For normal (non-incremental) search use Ctrl-F The popup menu over images and hand cursor over input image features wihch used to be part of this patch have meanwhile been committed to CVS. The same goes for the bug fixes to dw_image and dw_widget. Support for the 0.7.3 branch will be dropped for the next version of this patch. Some of the new features (interactive search, popup dialog=NO, tab order bug fix) are not availabe in the 0.7.3 version of the patch. if you want the new features you'll have to switch to 0.8.0-pre. Sorry, folks, but that is the price you pay for progress... Currently, both tab and frame support can be turned off completely, producing a smaller binary. I might (on request of other Dillo developers) remove the conditional compilation, thereby making tab and frame support a permanent feature of Dillo. If you want to keep the conditional compilation feature, speak out on the mailing list! Frameset (and iframe) support is enabled by default, it can be disabled using the configure option --enable-xhtml-dtd=strict. You can also use --enable-xhtml-dtd=transitional, which will give you iframe but no frameset support. The default option, --enable-xhtml-dtd=frameset, gives both iframe and frameset support. As usual, tab support can be disabled using --disable-tabs. What does not work yet: - the full_screen_off_button is not shown in frame documents. Use double-click instead to toggle the full screen setting... - the frameborder attribute works, but dw_gtk_scrolled_frame always draws a (focus) shadow around itself - even with the border size is set to 0. This can be solved in several ways - adding a 'borderless' attribute to dw_gtk_scrolled_frame, using a special borderless GTK theme for the widget, etc. In GTK2 this is all much easier (just set the widget's style's xthickness/ythickness to 0), but we're not there yet... - borderless frames can not be resized, even though Dillo always shows a thin border (see above). Who cares about resizing borderless frames? Mozilla does it, but I don't think this is an issue. Agree? - iframes always have a border (see above) Tabs, Frames and browser bloat ============================== version: 0.8.0-pre patch: dillo-20030926-tabs.patch.gz unpatched: 292372 bytes patched, no tabs, no frames: 298624 bytes patched, with tabs, no frames: 306176 bytes patched, no tabs, with frames: 315200 bytes patched, with tabs, with frames: 322784 bytes version: 0.7.3 patch: dillo-0.7.3-20030926-tabs.patch.gz unpatched: 285248 bytes patched, no tabs, no frames: 291852 bytes patched, with tabs, no frames: 298700 bytes patched, no tabs, with frames: 308268 bytes patched, with tabs, with frames: 316556 bytes (gcc 3.2.2, binutils 2.13.90.0.18, CFLAGS "-Os") Download instructions ===================== There are two versions of the patch, one for Dillo 0.7.3 (release) and one for Dillo 0.8.0-pre (CVS).

recent changes to nav.c
by Frank de Lange Sept. 25, 2003

Sept. 25, 2003

Jorge, Recently you added a new function (a_Nav_push_nw()) to nav.c. Though that function works fine, it should not be there... Why not? IMO, nav.c should NOT be concerned with windows, tabs, frames or whatever 'visual/physical' location a document is displayed in. It should just concern itself with the state of the document itself. This way, interface and document code are better separated, making it much easier and cleaner to add interface functionality (like tabs, frames, whatever) to Dillo. I have removed this function from my tab/frame patch, as the functionality it provides is - and has for a long time - already present in commands.c. That seems to be a better location for this type of functionality (even though commands.c does end up being a sort of grab-bag for miscellaneous stuff, maybe it should be reorganized a bit...)

errno and glibc

Hi'all, Some of you might have run into the same problem as I did when I tried to compile the latest CVS with -Werror: dpi_service.o(.text+0x1d4): In function `dpi_dir': ../../../dillo_tabs/dpid/dpi_service.c:127: undefined reference to `errno' dpi_service.o(.text+0x3fc): In function `rd_dpi_dir': ../../../dillo_tabs/dpid/dpi_service.c:187: undefined reference to `errno' dpi_service.o(.text+0x57b):../../../dillo_tabs/dpid/dpi_service.c:211: undefined reference to `errno' dpi_service.o(.text+0x8df): In function `send_servers_list': ../../../dillo_tabs/dpid/dpi_service.c:290: undefined reference to `errno' This is caused by the failure to include <errno.h>, which is where errno is declared. Just add #include <errno.h> to dpid/dpi_service.c and it compiles cleanly (at least here...) <PATCH> --- dillo/dpid/dpi_service.c 2003-09-15 02:56:41.000000000 +0200 +++ dillo_tabs/dpid/dpi_service.c 2003-09-25 17:13:31.263098504 +0200 @@ -25,6 +25,7 @@ #include <string.h> #include <dirent.h> #include <error.h> +#include <errno.h> #include <glib.h> #ifdef TEST #include "testdat.h" </PATCH> Jorge, can you apply this patch?
