To build the GTK version of NetSurf on a UNIX-like platform (although it has
|
|
only been tested on Debian, Ubuntu and FreeBSD), simply run "make" once you
|
|
have got the relevent build dependencies installed. Under a Debian-like OS,
|
|
this should suffice:
|
|
|
|
apt-get install libglade2-dev libcurl3-dev libxml2-dev libmng-dev
|
|
apt-get install librsvg2-dev lemon re2c
|
|
|
|
NetSurf requires at minimum GTK 2.8. Earlier versions will not work. It
|
|
also depends on Cairo for rendering, but you should have this already with
|
|
versions of GTK 2.8 or later.
|
|
|
|
This will pull in loads of things, like all the GTK dev libraries, the PNG and
|
|
JPEG libraries, colour management libraries, zlib, OpenSSL etc that NetSurf
|
|
also depends on.
|
|
|
|
lemon and re2c are the parser and lexer generators used to create NetSurf's CSS
|
|
support. If you have trouble finding lemon for your platform, it forms part of
|
|
the SQLite distribution, and consists of a single C file and a single runtime
|
|
data file, and is trivial to build yourself.
|
|
|
|
Type "make". Currently, this produces a huge number of warnings, mostly due to
|
|
confused signedness. These haven't been fixed yet but are mostly harmless.
|
|
|
|
Once built, NetSurf can be run by executing the shell script called "netsurf".
|
|
This script sets up some environment variables, which enables the NetSurf
|
|
binary to find its resources, making it easy to run the nsgtk binary from the
|
|
build tree. If you're packaging NetSurf, you can edit the RESPATH macro near
|
|
the top of gtk/gtk_gui.c to point at a directory to search, removing much of
|
|
the need for this starter shell script.
