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

Tabs, 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.

ORIGINAL NETSURF README

NetSurf

This document should help point you at various useful bits of information.

Building NetSurf

Read the Quick Start document for instructions.

Creating a new port

Look at the existing front ends for example implementations. The framebuffer front end is simplest and most self-contained. Also, you can contact the developers for help.
