It also - | assumes that you have the following requirements installed: - | - | + OSLib 6.80 or later - | + Perl 5.8.8 or later - | + GCC 3.4.6 release 3 or later - | + The latest NSTools - - If you want to cross-compile NetSurf for RISC OS, use the BUILDING-ROCross - document. - - - Building and executing NetSurf -================================ - - | Note: The version of make supplied with RISC OS GCC 3 is old and has a bug - | that prevents NetSurf from building. Either ensure that NSTools is - | seen before GCC, or replace the make inside "!GCC.bin" with the make - | from "!NSTools.bin". - | The minimum version of make that works is v3.81. You can check what - | version you have by running, '*make --version'. - - | Note: The pre-built libraries currently supplied in NSTools are AOF format, - | and will not work with GCC4, which requires them to be in ELF format. - | If you want to build NetSurf with GCC4, you will need to build the - | libraries yourself. See "Obtaining NetSurf's dependencies" below for - | details. - - You can examine the contents of Makefile.defaults and enable and disable - features as you see fit by creating a Makefile.config file. The default - settings will work fine. - - You should then obtain NetSurf's dependencies, keeping in mind which options - you have enabled in the configuration file. See the next section for - specifics. - - Once done, to build RISC OS NetSurf on a RISC OS system, set the CSD to the - directory containing the NetSurf sources, set the next slot to at least - 6000K, and in a TaskWindow, simply run: - - *make - - If that produces errors, you probably don't have some of NetSurf's build - dependencies installed, or your libraries may be out of date. - - See "Obtaining NetSurf's dependencies" below. Or turn off the complaining - features in a Makefile.config file. You may need to "make clean" before - attempting to build after installing the dependencies. - - Once NetSurf is compiled, the !RunImage is put into the !NetSurf - application directory, so you can simply double click it as normal. - - To confirm that you're running your own development NetSurf build, view the - Info window from the NetSurf iconbar menu. The Version string should read - - #.0 (Development) - - where # is the next major release version number. - - - Obtaining NetSurf's build dependencies -======================================== - - NSTools contains all of the tools needed to build NetSurf, such as make, - uname and ccres. It also contains pre-built libraries. - - Currently NSTools contains libraries which are in a format that are in a - format which is compatible with RISC OS GCC3 but not RISC OS GCC4. Until - NSTools is updated with GCC4 compatible libraries, it is recommended that - you use GCC3 for native builds. - - The NSTools on the web site is not auto-built, so it may not always have - the latest versions of the NetSurf project's own libraries. In this case - you will need to build the libraries yourself and update your copy of - NSTools. - - Fetching the sources ----------------------- - - Use SVN to obtain the latest versions of each of the libraries. To do this, - set the CSD to a directory where you want to keep your copies of the library - sources, and run the appropriate commands from the Docs/LIBRARIES file. - - The above will create a directory for each of the libraries containing their - sources. - - | 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. - - Updating NSTools' copies of the libraries -------------------------------------------- - - Set the CSD to the directory of the library you want to build, set your next - slot to at least 6000K and in a TaskWindow, run - - *svn update - - This updates your local copy of the source to the latest version. To build - and install the library into NSTools, run: - - *make install - - | Note: If you are using GCC3, you may get a warning from AR when you run - | make. This can be ignored. -- cgit v1.2.3
