- Build Instructions for BeOS and Haiku NetSurf 13 February 2010
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- This document provides instructions for building the BeOS and Haiku version
- of NetSurf and provides guidance on obtaining NetSurf's build dependencies.
-
- BeOS NetSurf has been tested on Zeta and Haiku only for now. There are still some
- issues to sort out for other BeOS versions.
-
- Quick Start
-=============
-
- See the QUICK-START document, which provides a simple environment with
- which you can fetch, build and install NetSurf and its dependencies.
-
- The QUICK-START is the recommended way to build NetSurf for Haiku. BeOS needs too much manual
- hacking to be built this way.
-
-
- Manual building
-================================
-
- To build NetSurf on a BeOS, provided you have the relevant
- build dependencies installed, simply run:
-
- $ make
-
- If that produces errors, you probably don't have some of NetSurf's build
- dependencies installed. See "Obtaining NetSurf's dependencies" below. You
- may need to "make clean" before attempting to build after installing the
- dependencies. Also note BeOS has an old make command that won't work, see
- below.
-
-
- Obtaining NetSurf's dependencies
-==================================
-
- Many of NetSurf's dependencies are either installed or available for BeOS and
- Haiku. The remainder must be installed manually.
-
- The NetSurf project's libraries
----------------------------------
-
- The NetSurf project has developed several libraries which are required by
- the browser. These are:
-
- BuildSystem -- Shared build system, needed to build the other libraries
- LibParserUtils -- Parser building utility functions
- LibWapcaplet -- String internment
- Hubbub -- HTML5 compliant HTML parser
- LibCSS -- CSS parser and selection engine
- LibNSGIF -- GIF format image decoder
- LibNSBMP -- BMP and ICO format image decoder
- LibROSprite -- RISC OS Sprite format image decoder
-
- To fetch each of these libraries, run the appropriate commands from the
- Docs/LIBRARIES file, from within your workspace directory.
-
- To build and install these libraries, simply enter each of their directories
- and run:
-
- $ make install
-
- | Note: We advise enabling iconv() support in libparserutils, which vastly
- | increases the number of supported character sets. To do this,
- | create a file called Makefile.config.override in the libparserutils
- | directory, containing the following line:
- |
- | CFLAGS += -DWITH_ICONV_FILTER
- |
- | For more information, consult the libparserutils README file.
-
- TODO: add some more here.
-
- Additional requirements for BeOS
-==================================
-
- On Haiku, other libraries and tools are either shipped with the system or available through the
- package repositories. For BeOS based systems, you will need to install and update all the
- required tools, as described below.
-
- rc
-----
-
- Building NetSurf needs the Haiku resource compiler (rc), that allows
- importing files from resource definitions (.rdef).
-
- $ cd <haiku-trunk-directory>
- $ TARGET_PLATFORM=r5 jam -q rc
- $ cp generated/objects/dano/x86/release/tools/rc/rc /boot/home/config/bin/
-
-
- GNU make 3.81
----------------
-
- BeOS has an old make tool, which won't work when building NetSurf.
- Haiku has 3.81 which is the one that works. For BeOS, one has to replace
- the original make with one built from the Haiku tree, or install it as gmake:
-
- $ cd <haiku-trunk-directory>
- $ TARGET_PLATFORM=r5 jam -q make
- $ cp generated/objects/r5/x86/release/bin/make/make /boot/home/config/bin/gmake
-
-
- cURL
-------
-
- NetSurf uses cURL to fetch files from the network.
- There is a patch against the official version on HaikuPorts.
-
- TODO
-
-
- libpng
---------
-
- NetSurf uses libPNG to display PNG files.
- It should build just fine on BeOS.
-
-
- libjpeg
----------
-
- NetSurf uses libjpeg to display JPEG files.
- It should already be available in your dev kit.
-
-
- OpenSSL
-----------
-
- NetSurf uses OpenSSL for encrypted transfers.
-
-
- General requirements
-----------------------
-
- There is currently an issue on stdbool.h (unsigned char bool vs enum bool)
- which needs to be fixed, for now one can use the Haiku version of the header
- and copy it over the gcc-provided one.
- $ cd <haiku-trunk-directory>
- $ cp headers/build/gcc-2.95.3/stdbool.h /boot/develop/tools/gnupro/lib/gcc-lib/i586-pc-beos/2.95.3-beos-060710/include/stdbool.h
-
-
- NetSurf might build on BeOS R5 but probably won't work on anything else than
- BONE.
