The DPI itself is just an external program anyway, so we may as well cut out the middleman. ~Benjamin

I think that the DPI interface is perhaps overly complicated for the common case where we just want to save the data to a temporary file and point some external program at it. Perhaps the config could specify a map from MIME types to helper functions, eg: application/pdf = epdfview %s Thoughts? Regards, Jeremy Henty

I don't know about Fedora, since they're typically more bleeding edge, but RHEL usually lags a couple major versions behind on most packages, and backports critical security and other fixes to the old version as necessary. It's an extremely expensive and time-consuming system, but it's the only way they can ensure stability when the prevailing culture is against backwards compatibility and stable API's. At least Red Hat's big enough they can get away with it. ~Benjamin

It sounds like they need to upgrade their present libpng from libpng-1.2.46 to libpng-1.4.* though. (No, the mingw32 is something ming windows related. Cygwin related??) A quick email to them might get your dependency problem solved, as Dillo is quite popular. On Gentoo, libpng-1.4.8 is marked stable. And the old version here on Gentoo is libpng-1.2.44 & libpng-1.2.45. (libpng-1.4.7 is masked and libpng-1.4.5 is the old stable version here.) -- Roger http://rogerx.freeshell.org/

how to open links etc

Hi, Sorry to ask something perhaps really dumb, but when I click on some links, eg a pdf file, I get prompted to save the file. Is it possible for me to transfer the file to some external program (say /usr/bin/epdfview) to open after download? Does this have to programmed in somewhere? Where? As a dpi? If the latter, where are the instructions? I looked at hello.c for an example but I was no sure what to do with the C program. Where do i compile it and how? Thanks for the help! Best wishes, T

The mingw32-libpng package is used for cross-compiling code for Windows. Offhand I'm not sure why it's a different version than your system libpng. > checking for libpng-config... which: no libpng14-config in > (/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin) > /usr/bin/libpng12-config > checking for libpng version... 1.2.46 (newer version) > ..... > > everything else compiles "fine".... The message just means Dillo's checking for libpng 1.4, then falling back on 1.2 if that's not found. Fedora probably ships 1.2.46 for stability, since a lot of applications are still coded for the older version. As long as Dillo's compiling fine, I wouldn't be too worried about it -- that message is purely informational. ~Benjamin

What does this message mean? I am running fedora 15 and I have both pkg-config as well as the following packages installed: libpng-1.2.46-1.fc15.x86_64 libpng10-devel-1.0.55-1.fc15.x86_64 libpng-devel-1.2.46-1.fc15.x86_64 libpng10-1.0.55-1.fc15.x86_64 Here is the relevant portion: there is no libpng14 on fedora, but there is mingw32-libpng-1.4.8-1.fc15.noarch which puts libpng14-config strangely into /usr/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/bin/libpng14-config. checking for libpng-config... which: no libpng14-config in (/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin) /usr/bin/libpng12-config checking for libpng version... 1.2.46 (newer version) ..... everything else compiles "fine"....

dillo-3.0-rc2 is out

Ugly? I think it looks just fine and dandy. I've rarely switched to other then the default theme a GUI gives because the default is usually has the best color contrast and themed conservatively. Of course, I'm more concerned about functionality then how something "looks". At most, think a "color picker" for choosing default frame and button colors, or empty boxes for manually stating a color number... similar to what color terminals do for theming. But these are just my random thoughts here, trying to save you from a mess of work that will only benefit a few. ;-) -- Roger http://rogerx.freeshell.org/

dillo-3.0-rc2 is out

by higuita7＠yahoo.co.uk

Hi again >>>bisect it i found that fltk 1.3 rvision 9023 makes the openning/close >>>of the tabs slower in my machine. >> So is this a problem of fltk or from dillo, or both? :) A new info... updating to the lastest version to try the themes, i found that my dillorc had this option set: buffered_drawing=2 it was probably one old test that i did forgot, but after removing it, i get the normal "new tab/close tab" speed... So the double buffer and that fltk commit are the ones that turn dillo strangely slower. Thanks higuita -- Naturally the common people don't want war... but after all it is the leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country. -- Hermann Goering, Nazi and war criminal, 1883-1946
