THIS FORK
|
||||||
|
=======
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This fork aims at getting a usable version of NetSurf running under the
|
||||||
|
GNUstep library. I will note that there is (I think) a working update of
|
||||||
|
the old cocoa port, checkout github/mmuman's repos for this. However,
|
||||||
|
this port requires CoreFoundation, and CoreGraphics dependencies. While there
|
||||||
|
are GNUstep implementations of these, they're underdeveloped, and indeed, I
|
||||||
|
couldn't get them to build under OpenBSD.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
So, this port aims at a ground-up GNUstep-specific (Perhaps it would compile
|
||||||
|
under MacOS, perhaps not, I don't particularly care about this platform) port,
|
||||||
|
making liberal use of code snippets from the cocoa port where possible. For
|
||||||
|
example large chunks of the plotter and font functions are pulled from the
|
||||||
|
cocoa port.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This port compiles with just basic GNUstep base, gui, and back libraries
|
||||||
|
unlike the cocoa port.

||||||

Current State
|
||||||
|
----------------
|
||||||
|
Works for basic use, can navigate to, and browse websites.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
What still needs doing
|
||||||
|
----------------
|
||||||
|
Cursor, contextual mouse pointers, tabs, iframes(for some reason),
|
||||||
|
downloads, bookmarks, history, other bits and bobs probably.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This has only been tested on OpenBSD macppc, there's probably issues with
|
||||||
|
the Makefile on other platforms.

||||||

Props to Sven Weidauer for the original cocoa port. Original copyright notice
|

has been included in files consisting of large parts of his work.
