at least the Amiga port of it has been compiled so it works with
native paths.

Yes. It's even worse. Every key stroke is logged 2 times...
Downstroke and upstroke at a guess.

no, it is not port, but ixemul offer to use Linux feature and Amiga OS filepath features
if
possible.
the dejavu fonts that need for netsurf are in the netsurf/fonts dir, when you download the
binary
My linux knowledge is not much, maybe #define DEJAVU_PATH "./Fonts/" work, but
dont know when a
program do change the path if it fail or not.
the AOS PROGDIR: is always the current dir of the program, maybe Atari have a own syntax
for that

now its clear what your problem is, netsurf internal font use a strange codepage, this
cant
open.amiga version have change the codepage and have support for special language chars
for german
french and other languages.
but best is you use freetype fonts.also on newer netsurf teh glyph1 func draw crap
chars.so amiga OS
dont support internal Fonts.
using internal fonts give no measurable speedup, most time a webpage need show is not
spend in print
of text.

I tried freetype2 and it seems it tries to load the fonts from the default
location
for fonts under unix / Linux
(/usr/share/fonts/)
but best is you use freetype fonts.also on newer netsurf teh glyph1

I compiled and linked netsurf with freetype2, but loading of font files
still fails with error code 2. I'll probably fix that soon, probably it's
just an Makefile issue( at least I hope so...), but maybe it's an
fileystem issue, if so, I think that could be fixed easy, too.
I'll compile the ft2-demos to figure it out....

Freetype is probably the best choice... It's an very clean library :)

Hello to the list,
thanks for all your help in doing this Proof of Concept. Especially the 16
Bit Amiga Colors patch :)
Now I'm going to create patches for the makefiles.
But there are a few questions, however:
1.) Is there an guide on integrating new "Targets" into the Makefiles?
2.) I wan't to seperate this Port into 2 Development steps. The first step
is SDL Framebuffer Version - the second step is to Integrate the GUI into
MiNT properly.
But how should I integrate these 2 steps into the the Makefile?
The Framebuffer target needed some tweaking. Mostly LDFLAGS needed to be
abjusted, and pkg-config invocations had to be replaced by:
freetype-config
xml2-config
curl-config
(because things like pkg-config libxml2 failed)
Should I patch the framebuffer target parts with something like:
ifeq( $HOST), mint)
{
... do some specific stuff....
} ?
I'm asking, because the framebuffer port is very generic and maybe someone
does not like such if(HOST) in this target... ( At least it won't be that
much, probably 2 if's)
Then I would add a new target which is targeting GEM - the Atari User
Interface. I expect several places in the Makefiles that needs to be
extended for this target. But not right now, first I wan't to submit clean
patches for the framebuffer stuff...
Thanks for reading & greets,
Ole
