Nervous tick
by Richard Porter
When Netsurf is displaying the following page and others on the same
site the pointer starts flickering 2 or 3 times a second between a
pointing hand and an hour glass.
http://www.therailengineer.com/2012/04/26/bs11000-working-together-achiev...
This only happens when the top part of the page is displayed. If you
scroll down it stops; if you scroll back up so that most of the image
is shown it starts again. If you're working in another window over the
top it stops. If you bring NetSurf to the top it resumes. What's going
on?
Currently using r13534.

Current version?
by John Williams
I have been stuck at r13571 for some time - which may well be the latest
version; we mustn't deny developers a break!
But now my cURL script for downloading the latest version seems to hang!
Any ideas, anyone?

Netsurf 2.9 for Mac OS X? (intel)
by Martin Hartmann
Hi, I am running Netsurf 2.8 on Mac OS X Lion and I am very happy with it. I wonder if a release of version 2.9 is planned. Or if anyone could compile a version for Snow Leopard or Lion, it would be great if you could send it to me.
Thanks and congrats for this great browser!
Best,
Martin

More examples using libcss
by Syed Mushtaq
Hi,
I wanted to write a css spriter using libcss to parse css files. I was
looking at the example provided in the code, I find that the example is
very limited and not very clear. Is there some place where I can find more
examples which use libcss. What I am looking at is some kind of event based
API where my functions get called when parsing a ruleset,rule, etc. Similar
to libcroco.
Thanks

No comment...
by Harriet Bazley
What is hiding the comments e.g. on this blog http://ofdreamsandseams.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/9-shirts-off-his-back.html
from Netsurf?
JavaScript seems to be involved, but the actual body of the comment text
appears in the form
<li id='bc_0_8B' class='comment' kind='b'><div class='avatar-image-container'><img src='http://img1.blogblog.com/img/anon36.png'></img></div><div id='c3866699261828389934' class='comment-block'><div id='bc_0_8M' class='comment-header' kind='m'><cite class='user'><a rel='nofollow' href='http://alittleboutiquenearhome.com'>Laura</a></cite><span class='icon user'></span><span class='datetime secondary-text'><a rel='nofollow' href='http://ofdreamsandseams.blogspot.com/2012/05/9-shirts-off-his-back.html?s...'>May 11, 2012 12:56 AM</a></span></div><p id='bc_0_8MC' class='comment-content'>I absolutely adore this! Nice job!</p><span id='bc_0_8MN' class='comment-actions secondary-text' kind='m'><a kind='i' href='javascript:;' target='_self' o='r'>Reply</a><span class='item-control blog-admin pid-548093041'><a o='d' target='_self' href='http://www.blogger.com/delete-comment.g?blogID=1991608771892905541&po...'>Delete</a></span></span></div><div id='bc_0_8BR' class='comment-replies'></div><div id='bc_0_8B_box' class='comment-replybox-single'></div></li>
and indeed if I select and drag out the entire <div id='comment-holder'>
section from the source, then double-click on the selection, I get an
ordinary Ordered List. So what is being used to hide the text?
Edit: just found it. Right down the bottom:
<style type='text/css'>
#comments {display:none;}
</style>
*sigh* Now why would anyone do that? And is there any way of
overriding it?

Before I try tackling the framebuffer again, I tried this with the
Windows native version. I deleted everything in
build-windows-windows. I ran make TARGET=windows clean. I ran make
TARGET=windows Q= and sent stdout and stderr to a log file. I don't
see any errors in that build. John-Mark, will send you a copy of the
file directly instead of taking up space on the mailing list.

I ran a search from c:\mingw down and could find no executables with
the name netsurf.exe or anything similar using n*.exe as the search
pattern.
Thanks to John-Mark and Ole for the assistance and clarifications.

Fw: snag on installing Netsurf

Subject:
I am in process of installing Netsurf on my Riscpc. I downloaded the system on to a CD on my PC computer, then used this to transfer to the Risc machine. This method seems to work excpt that I have not succeeded with the Boot Merge. I get a well known error message saying that an application to load the file has not been found, etc.
I have not been able to get round this - can you advise please?
Alternatively can you expand on "drag the supplied !Boot over your existing boot structure"? (quoting from readme)
I have tried one or two things but have not managed to discover the intended procedure.
Many thanks and regards

Thanks. TARGET=framebuffer is what I was looking for.

Made a few changes to the makefile and a few other files and it looks
like it builds the library fine on Windows.

I was hoping to use the SDL version on a couple of platforms including
Windows. I suppose I could build each one natively though. If I can
get it to build, long-term plan was not to use it as a web browser,
but more of a cross-platform replacement for dialog. Was thinking I
could possibly replace the part that sends form data to a server with
the ability to store the information locally to a file. I wouldn't
even need the web access capabilities, just the capabilities to
interpret HTML and CSS and render pages. There are cross-platform
replacements for dialog, but I'd really like to have something that
can use standard web syntax (HTML, CSS, etc.) for creating interfaces.

I don't specifically know what the issue was when I tried to build
netsurf-2.8 versus netsurf-r13571, but I appear to have my include
paths set appropriately with the latter and I can't get them set
properly with the prior. I thought I went through the same steps in
both, but something is different. Since I appear to be having less
issues with the netsurf-r13571 tarball, I'm concentrating on trying to
build using it.
When I run make TARGET=windows I see no error messages. I redirected
standard output and standard error to a file. Looking over the file,
there are just warnings. Checking the build-windows-windows
directory, I see object files (108 of them). There are no libraries
or executables built. I did go in and hardcode $userinfo{USERNAME},
$gecos and $hostname in svn-testament.pl since it was having some
trouble running.
Last lines that are output when I run make for the windows target are:
M.CONFIG: JPEG (libjpeg) enabled (NETSURF_USE_JPEG := YES)
M.CONFIG: JNG/MNG/PNG (libmng) disabled (NETSURF_USE_MNG := NO)
M.CONFIG: PDF export (haru) disabled (NETSURF_USE_HARU_PDF := NO)
M.CONFIG: glibc internal iconv disabled (NETSURF_USE_LIBICONV_PLUG := NO)
M.CONFIG: BMP (libnsbmp) enabled (NETSURF_USE_BMP := YES)
M.CONFIG: GIF (libnsgif) enabled (NETSURF_USE_GIF := YES)
M.CONFIG: PNG (libpng) enabled (NETSURF_USE_PNG := YES)
M.CONFIG: SVG (libsvgtiny) disabled (NETSURF_USE_NSSVG := NO)
M.CONFIG: PNG/JNG/MNG (libmng) disabled (NETSURF_USE_MNG := NO)
TESTMENT: unchanged
If I run make TARGET=windows again, those lines are all I get back.
When I tried running make TARGET=framebuffer, I got several errors
back. Some of them include:
image/mng.c:29:20: fatal error: libmng.h: No such file or directory
[ I thought I had MNG disabled, but appears framebuffer mode still
wants the library installed. ]

or directory
cc.exe: fatal error: no input files
compilation terminated.
make: *** [build-windows-framebuffer/build-windows-framebuffer_caret_image.o]
Error 1
The errors look fixable. Don't know whether I should try to get the
framebuffer version to compile without errors or concentrate on why
the windows version doesn't generate anything other that object files
(and .d files). The framebuffer version may have the same issue as
the windows version once it gets past the compiler errors.
Any further suggestions appreciated. Thanks again for the help with
the target command.

netsurf-sdl on Windows?
by LM
Tried out netsurf-sdl on Debian and was attempting to figure out if
something similar could be built on Windows.
I have sdl, JPEG, Zlib, libxml2, openssl and curl built and installed. I'm
using mingw and msys to build applications. I downloaded and built
hubbub-0.1.2, libcss-0.1.2, libnsbmp-0.0.3, libnsgif-0.0.3,
libparserutils-0.1.1, libwapcaplet-0.1.1. They seemed to compile and
install without any complaints. I attempted to build
netsurf-2.8-full-src.tar.gz, but hit some issues. So, I downloaded
netsurf-r13571.tar.gz to try it. I edited makefile.config. I tried
setting:
export MINGW_PREFIX='/mingw/bin/'
export MINGW_INSTALL_ENV='/usr/local'
I invoked the make file with:
make target=windows
It seems to build several object files in the build-windows-windows
directory, but it never creates an executable. It doesn't even appear to
process the resource file. I'm also not sure how to tie SDL into the
windows build. Any suggestions for getting further on this would be
greatly appreciated. Thank you.
