Build Instructions for Monkey NetSurf 13 March 2011
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
This document provides instructions for building the Monkey
|
|
automation version of NetSurf and provides guidance on obtaining
|
|
NetSurf's build dependencies.
|
|
|
|
Monkey NetSurf has been tested on Ubuntu 10.10/amd64.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Building and executing NetSurf
|
|
==============================
|
|
|
|
First of all, you should examine the contents of Makefile.defaults
|
|
and enable and disable relevant features as you see fit by creating
|
|
a Makefile.config file. Some of these options can be automatically
|
|
detected and used, and where this is the case they are set to such.
|
|
Others cannot be automatically detected from the Makefile, so you
|
|
will either need to install the dependencies, or set them to NO.
|
|
|
|
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 Monkey NetSurf on a UNIX-like platform, simply run:
|
|
|
|
$ make TARGET=monkey
|
|
|
|
If that produces errors, you probably don't have some of NetSurf's
|
|
build dependencies installed. 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.
|
|
|
|
Run NetSurf by executing the "nsmonkey" command from within the build tree.
|
|
|
|
$ ./nsmonkey
|
|
|
|
If you are packaging NetSurf, do NOT package nsmonkey. It is a debug tool.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Obtaining NetSurf's build dependencies
|
|
======================================
|
|
|
|
Many of NetSurf's dependencies are packaged on various operating systems.
|
|
The remainder must be installed manually. Currently, some of the libraries
|
|
developed as part of the NetSurf project have not had official releases.
|
|
Hopefully they will soon be released with downloadable tarballs and packaged
|
|
in common distros. For now, you'll have to make do with Git checkouts.
|
|
|
|
Some of NetSurf's own libraries will be installed in /usr/local/ by default.
|
|
Fedora, and perhaps some other distributions of Linux, do not ship a
|
|
pkg-config that will search here, so you will either need to change where
|
|
these libraries install, or do the following before building NetSurf itself;
|
|
|
|
$ PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
|
|
$ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH
|
|
|
|
Package installation
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
Debian-like OS:
|
|
|
|
$ apt-get install libcurl3-dev
|
|
|
|
Recent OS versions might need libcurl4-dev instead of libcurl3-dev but
|
|
note that when it has not been built with OpenSSL, the SSL_CTX is not
|
|
available and results that certification details won't be presented in case
|
|
they are invalid. But as this is currently unimplemented in the GTK
|
|
flavour of NetSurf, this won't make a difference at all.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The NetSurf project's libraries
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The NetSurf project has developed several libraries which are required by
|
|
the browser. These are:
|
|
|
|
LibParserUtils -- Parser building utility functions
|
|
LibWapcaplet -- String internment
|
|
Hubbub -- HTML5 compliant HTML parser
|
|
LibCSS -- CSS parser and selection engine
|
|
LibNSGIF -- GIF format image decoder
|
|
LibNSBMP -- BMP and ICO format image decoder
|
|
LibROSprite -- RISC OS Sprite format image decoder
|
|
|
|
To fetch each of these libraries, run the appropriate commands from the
|
|
Docs/LIBRARIES file.
|
|
|
|
To build and install these libraries, simply enter each of their directories
|
|
and run:
|
|
|
|
$ sudo make install
|
|
|
|
| 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.
