Build Instructions for RISC OS NetSurf 10 August 2009
|
||
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
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
|
||
|
||
For instructions on how to do all of the above, consult the following
|
||
document:
|
||
|
||
http://www.netsurf-browser.org/documentation/robuild
|
||
|
||
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 some 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".
|
||
|
||
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dependencies installed, or your libraries may be out of date.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 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 each of the following commands:
|
||
|
||
*svn<76>co<63>svn://svn.netsurf-browser.org/trunk/libparserutils
|
||
*svn<76>co<63>svn://svn.netsurf-browser.org/trunk/libwapcaplet
|
||
*svn<76>co<63>svn://svn.netsurf-browser.org/trunk/hubbub
|
||
*svn<76>co<63>svn://svn.netsurf-browser.org/trunk/libcss
|
||
*svn<76>co<63>svn://svn.netsurf-browser.org/trunk/libnsgif
|
||
*svn<76>co<63>svn://svn.netsurf-browser.org/trunk/libnsbmp
|
||
|
||
The above will create a directory for each of the libraries containing their
|
||
sources.
|
||
|
||
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
|
||
|
||
*make
|
||
|
||
If you are using GCC3, you may get a warning about AR. This can be ignored.
|
||
|
||
To update your NSTools, copy the latest headers from the include directory
|
||
for the library you built into "!NSTools.include" and copy the built library
|
||
from the build-riscos-riscos-release-lib-static.a directory to the
|
||
"NSTools.lib.a" directory.
