Evaluating NetSurf for project
by Lonnie Cumberland
Hello,
I have recently started investigating the possible use of NetSurf for use
in my project which is being built on Ubuntu 18.04 and has a majority of it
already written in C++ but now need to integrate some features for which
NetSurf seems to be a perfect fit.
Currently, I have been able to compile & run the "nsgtk" browser which runs
nicely.
Additionally, I have been able to complie the "nsfb" (framebuffer) frontend
example which seems to compile just fine, but when I try to run it, I keep
getting the same error messages:
--------------------------------------------
~/scraping$ ./nsfb
Message translations failed to load
Unable to initialise framebuffer
--------------------------------------------
I have tired to place the "framebuffer/res" and "netsurf/resources" folders
in various locations as described in the documentation, but still I get the
same message above.
I think that the nsfb is the starting point that I need, but would like to
see it function as the build went well, but just the placement of some
files seems to be the problem, although I am not completely sure.
Actually, it would be good to just have the needed "res" folder relative to
the nsfb application which seems simplest to me but that is for later.
can you please assist?
