Quick Build Steps for NetSurf 26 February 2014
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This document provides steps for building NetSurf.
Grab a temporary env.sh
--------------------------
$ wget http://git.netsurf-browser.org/netsurf.git/plain/Docs/env.sh
$ source env.sh
Install any packages you need
-------------------------------
Installs all packages required to build NetSurf and the NetSurf project
libraries.
$ ns-package-install
If your package manager is not supported, you will have to install third
party packages manually.
Get the NetSurf project source code from Git
----------------------------------------------
$ ns-clone
Build and install our project libraries
-----------------------------------------
Updates NetSurf project library sources to latest, builds and installs them.
$ ns-pull-install
Switch to new NetSurf workspace
---------------------------------
$ rm env.sh
$ cd ~/dev-netsurf/workspace
$ source env.sh
Build and run NetSurf
-----------------------
$ cd netsurf
To build the native front end (the GTK front end on Linux, BSDs, etc) you
could do:
$ make
$ ./nsgtk
To build the framebuffer front end, you could do:
$ make TARGET=framebuffer
$ ./nsfb
Not working?
==============
If the above steps are inapplicable, or don't work, you can build manually.
Follow the instructions in the BUILDING-* documents in the Docs/ directory
the NetSurf browser source tree.
