Build Instructions for RISC OS NetSurf 16 July 2012
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
This document provides instructions for building the RISC OS NetSurf
|
|
natively on a RISC OS computer and provides guidance on obtaining NetSurf's
|
|
build dependencies.
|
|
|
|
RISC OS NetSurf should work on RISC OS 4.02 and above.
|
|
|
|
| Note: This guide assumes that you have the RISC OS SVN client installed,
|
|
| and that you have used it to fetch the NetSurf source. It also
|
|
| assumes that you have the following requirements installed:
|
|
|
|
|
| + OSLib 6.80 or later
|
|
| + Perl 5.8.8 or later
|
|
| + GCC 3.4.6 release 3 or later
|
|
| + The latest NSTools
|
|
|
|
If you want to cross-compile NetSurf for RISC OS, use the BUILDING-ROCross
|
|
document.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Building and executing NetSurf
|
|
================================
|
|
|
|
| Note: The version of make supplied with RISC OS GCC 3 is old and has a bug
|
|
| that prevents NetSurf from building. Either ensure that NSTools is
|
|
| seen before GCC, or replace the make inside "!GCC.bin" with the make
|
|
| from "!NSTools.bin".
|
|
| The minimum version of make that works is v3.81. You can check what
|
|
| version you have by running, '*make --version'.
|
|
|
|
| Note: The pre-built libraries currently supplied in NSTools are AOF format,
|
|
| and will not work with GCC4, which requires them to be in ELF format.
|
|
| If you want to build NetSurf with GCC4, you will need to build the
|
|
| libraries yourself. See "Obtaining NetSurf's dependencies" below for
|
|
| details.
|
|
|
|
You can examine the contents of Makefile.defaults and enable and disable
|
|
features as you see fit by creating a Makefile.config file. The default
|
|
settings will work fine.
|
|
|
|
You should then obtain NetSurf's dependencies, keeping in mind which options
|
|
you have enabled in the configuration file. See the next section for
|
|
specifics.
|
|
|
|
Once done, to build RISC OS NetSurf on a RISC OS system, set the CSD to the
|
|
directory containing the NetSurf sources, set the next slot to at least
|
|
6000K, and in a TaskWindow, simply run:
|
|
|
|
*make
|
|
|
|
If that produces errors, you probably don't have some of NetSurf's build
|
|
dependencies installed, or your libraries may be out of date.
|
|
|
|
See "Obtaining NetSurf's dependencies" below. Or turn off the complaining
|
|
features in a Makefile.config file. You may need to "make clean" before
|
|
attempting to build after installing the dependencies.
|
|
|
|
Once NetSurf is compiled, the !RunImage is put into the !NetSurf
|
|
application directory, so you can simply double click it as normal.
|
|
|
|
To confirm that you're running your own development NetSurf build, view the
|
|
Info window from the NetSurf iconbar menu. The Version string should read
|
|
|
|
#.0 (Development)
|
|
|
|
where # is the next major release version number.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Obtaining NetSurf's build dependencies
|
|
========================================
|
|
|
|
NSTools contains all of the tools needed to build NetSurf, such as make,
|
|
uname and ccres. It also contains pre-built libraries.
|
|
|
|
Currently NSTools contains libraries which are in a format that are in a
|
|
format which is compatible with RISC OS GCC3 but not RISC OS GCC4. Until
|
|
NSTools is updated with GCC4 compatible libraries, it is recommended that
|
|
you use GCC3 for native builds.
|
|
|
|
The NSTools on the web site is not auto-built, so it may not always have
|
|
the latest versions of the NetSurf project's own libraries. In this case
|
|
you will need to build the libraries yourself and update your copy of
|
|
NSTools.
|
|
|
|
Fetching the sources
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
Use SVN to obtain the latest versions of each of the libraries. To do this,
|
|
set the CSD to a directory where you want to keep your copies of the library
|
|
sources, and run the appropriate commands from the Docs/LIBRARIES file.
|
|
|
|
The above will create a directory for each of the libraries containing their
|
|
sources.
|
|
|
|
| Note: We advise enabling iconv() support in libparserutils, which vastly
|
|
| increases the number of supported character sets. To do this,
|
|
| create a file called Makefile.config.override in the libparserutils
|
|
| directory, containing the following line:
|
|
|
|
|
| CFLAGS += -DWITH_ICONV_FILTER
|
|
|
|
|
| For more information, consult the libparserutils README file.
|
|
|
|
Updating NSTools' copies of the libraries
|
|
-------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Set the CSD to the directory of the library you want to build, set your next
|
|
slot to at least 6000K and in a TaskWindow, run
|
|
|
|
*svn update
|
|
|
|
This updates your local copy of the source to the latest version. To build
|
|
and install the library into NSTools, run:
|
|
|
|
*make install
|
|
|
|
| Note: If you are using GCC3, you may get a warning from AR when you run
|
|
| make. This can be ignored.
