Hi guys, Just a comment because I started a thread a little while ago, that never got resolved.
The 0.8.x series of Puppy Linux had all the apps compiled against uClibc, which saved about 1M but caused various compatibility problems. One of those was the Dillo plugins not working right.
That problem never got resolved, however it is now academic as far as Puppy is concerned, as I recompiled everything against glibc, for Puppy 0.9.0 (using Mandrake 9.2 as the host).
That is too bad. My development system for Dillo is a chroot environment running off of uClibc. Regular glib and gtk were installed. If you are looking for a good distro to base your Linux distro off of, check out uwoody at www.uclibc.org - Garrett Kajmowicz
