Hello everybody
I completely happy with dillo just the way it is. I consider it insane to go on the web with javascript enabled and apart from gmail I don't normally have cookies enabled. (how can I differentiate the two users? i.e I have dillo of user 1 on the the screen and a dillo of user 2 also on the screen but the 2 dillo's are identical in appearance). Anyway all of a sudden after using dillo for a year or so I find there is a website that I absolutely must get on but it requires javascript. Well okay I search the web to try to find something, anything that has javascript (I've been searching for day and night for about a week now) and find that there are two things
1) Massive huge bloatware 2) dillo
Most things don't build, or don't have any kind of a build system or are for x86 (I'm on arm) so I figure I have to bite the bullet and build firefox. I've been rolling my own system for about 20 years so so I know whats involved but after two config failures and it failing on the gigantic final link after an 8 hour build, I come to the conclusion that lifes not worth it. I don't want that piece of junk on my computer anyway. Links2 at one time had javascript but they abandoned it and elinks has javascript as long as you have seamonkey installed (tarball>190Mbytes)
Anybody got any ideas?
I did find one thing. "duktape" (http://duktape.org/)which seems to be an exceptionlly fine piece of code which is an embeddable Ecmascript E5/E5.1 engine with a focus on portability and compact footprint. All the examples compiled out of the box and linking it to dillo (duktape.c duktape.h) took a few minutes to change the makefile. The size's of the files are
dillo 558,480 dillo 767,456 with ducttape
I don't know enough to be able to do anything with it (I work with hardware) but thought someone might be interested as a route to get javascript on dillo.
Astounding. But you haven't added the most important thing: does your site works under dillo w/duktape? Because, y'know, that's more than astounding to me! -- Teodoro Santoni Something is wrong. I don't wanna compile 20 KB of Go code to list files.
