[Solved] Include mini-browser Netsurf in the future

[francois]

nanZor:

Your demand for an update-netsurf is legitimate as much as asny other demand of the porteus community users. Let´s see what the developpers have to say about it. There is already palemoon.

Or maybe you could build the update-netsurf yourself based on update-firefox and submit it for the next porteus version.

Maybe CERN's browser would be a better choice.

Heh, well just tested the latest XFCE4 5.0 RC1 and see that the desktop link to the Porteus faq leads to calling up Lynx in U/Xterm, instead of calling up the browser chooser!

I think this is great. However, I see that as a proof-of-concept using lynx and uxterm. Us old timers are going to gravitate naturally to /usr/doc and poke around anyway with our own tools, but the new user to linux expects *some* sort of browsing if you are going to present html like that.

I'm not complaining! Heck, I might even call up Steve Kirkendall's vi clone, ELVIS which has a built in html browser if you run the latest 2.2x or so. Good times, but that's from "your Dad's distro."

I'm half-tempted to re-code the Porteus faq into something classic like the *bsd docs for a graphical browser. Not that I'm any good, but I'd have to dust off my html skills....

The most recent version of 64Bit netsurf can be gotten with the mknetsurf command.
spm-19.06.26-noarch-2.xzm includes the mknetsurf command.

spm-19.06.26-noarch-2.xzm (2 M)
http://www.mediafire.com/file/6p74gb4b8 ... arch-2.xzm
md5sum: 9cad65531a3b380efff5413ccfd8559f spm-19.06.26-noarch-2.xzm


Thanks.

Hi neko,
I downloaded spm-19.06.26-noarch-2.xzm from the above link.
But the command mknetsurf does not exist.
The mknetsurf command is not included!
Note:
When using appears: Version 19.06.21-1 and not 19.06.26
could that be the error?

[neko]

@Kulle
Thank you for your interest to the tool.
Please operation as followed.

Code: Select all

% ls
spm-19.06.26-noarch-2.xzm
% su
# activate spm-19.06.26-noarch-2.xzm
# which mknetsurf
/usr/local/sbin/mknetsurf
# mknetsurf
# ls
netsurf-3.8.4704-x86_64-1.xzm
spm-19.06.26-noarch-2.xzm
# deactivate spm-19.06.26-noarch-2.xzm
# activate netsurf-3.8.4704-x86_64-1.xzm

3.8.4704 is the most recent version of netsurf at just now.

Thanks.

@Kulle
Excuse me !
"mknetsurf" command doesn't run correctly.
Because there is not library "libbfd-2.26.20160125.so".
Please activate following module.


binutils-2.26-x86_64-3.xzm (7 M)
http://www.mediafire.com/file/dr0jd67gb ... 6_64-3.xzm
md5sum: e36392cdbc40f8b9658914846e50dbf9 binutils-2.26-x86_64-3.xzm


mknetsurf convert DEB module with "ar" command.
"ar" command is included Porteus
but Porteus doesn't include "libbfd-2.26.20160125.so" that is used by "ar" command.


Thanks.

The framebuffer version is missing which is useable for init3 users

[Kulle]

Hi neko,
It did not work:

Code: Select all

root@porteus:/usr/local/sbin# ./mknetsurf
....
Creating 4.0 filesystem on netsurf-3.8.4704-x86_64-1.xzm, block size 262144.

Note: binutils-2.32-x86_64-1.xzm is activated (it is in the folder Porteus modules)

[bour59]

hi Kulle
may be you have to activate the 05-devel.xzm

[neko]

@bour59
"mknetsurf" builds minimum netsurf with netsurf-common and netsurf-gtk.
If you need full set, please modify shell script as follows.

Line 112 of /usr/local/share/mknetsurf/bin/mknetsurf
OLD
for i in `grep "$VERSION" /tmp/mknetsurf$$/index.html|cut -d'"' -f8|egrep -e "netsurf-common_$V|netsurf-gtk_$V"`

Note:
The packages of this site is updated as soon as source code is update.

Thanks.

@Kulle
The most recent netsurf runs in Porteus v5.0rc1 x86_64.
It doesn't run in Porteus v4.0 x86_64.
Because there is not libssl.so.1.1 in Porteus v4.0 x86_64.

[libssl.so]
=== Porteus v4.0 x86_64 ===

Code: Select all

% lsxzm ISO@/porteus/base/001-core.xzm | grep libssl
/lib64/libssl.so.1
/lib64/libssl.so.1.0.0
/usr/lib64/libssl.so
/usr/lib64/libssl.so.1
/usr/lib64/libssl.so.1.0.0
/usr/lib64/libssl3.so

=== Porteus v5.0rc1 x86_64 ===

Code: Select all

% lsxzm ISO@/porteus/base/001-core.xzm | grep libssl

@neko ... netsurf-fb
running porteus 5.0rc1
I made the modif in mknetsurf and created the xzm
after resolving (gotten from slackware-current)
-libxcb-icccm.so
-libxcb-image.so
-libxcb-keysyms.so
-libxcb-util.so
-libvncserver.so
when I start netsurf-fb I get :
libcurl.so.4 no version available (required by netsurf-fb)

[neko]

@bour59
I built netsurf-fb package whose dependencies were constructed with archLinux packages.
And I executed it on Porteus 5.0rc1 from terminal.
I got the same message on the terminal.
"netsurf-fb: /usr/lib64/libcurl.so.4: no version information available (required by netsurf-fb)"

Me too, I don't know what the message is.

Thanks.

[bour59]

@neko
please this an error don't care this following
I've created a tgz from the xzm
installed it on a slackware current, and netsurf-fb runs ok

[neko]

@bour59
"netsurf-fb" will be updated frequently.
"netsurf-fb" and dependency part of netsurf-FB.xzm can be separated.

[How to update netsurf-fb of netsurf-FB.xzm]
1. preparation
(1) spm-19.06.26-noarch-2.xzm
refer to [Solved] Include mini-browser Netsurf in the future (Post by neko #72558)
(2) binutils-2.26-x86_64-3.xzm
refer to [Solved] Include mini-browser Netsurf in the future (Post by neko #72564)
(3) netsurf-FB.xzm
refer to [Solved] Include mini-browser Netsurf in the future (Post by neko #72585)
(4) modify spm-19.06.26-noarch-2.xzm@/usr/local/share/mknetsurf/bin/mknetsurf
refer to [Solved] Include mini-browser Netsurf in the future (Post by neko #72571)

2. get recent "netsurf-fb"

Code: Select all

% ls -1
binutils-2.26-x86_64-3.xzm
netsurf-FB.xzm
spm-19.06.26-noarch-2.xzm
% su
# activate binutils-2.26-x86_64-3.xzm
# activate spm-19.06.26-noarch-2.xzm
# leafpad /usr/local/share/mknetsurf/bin/mknetsurf
# mknetsurf
# ls -1
binutils-2.26-x86_64-3.xzm
netsurf-3.8.NNNN-x86_64-1.xzm
netsurf-FB.xzm
spm-19.06.26-noarch-2.xzm

Note: At my test, netsurf-3.8.NNNN-x86_64-1.xzm was netsurf-3.8.4711-x86_64-1.xzm.

3. separate xzm module to packages.

Code: Select all

# dXZM netsurf-FB.xzm
# sep2pkg netsurf-FB
# dXZM netsurf-3.8.NNNN-x86_64-1.xzm
# sep2pkg netsurf-3.8.NNNN-x86_64-1
# ls -1
binutils-2.26-x86_64-3.xzm
netsurf-3.8.NNNN-x86_64-1.xzm
netsurf-FB.xzm
pkgs.netsurf-3.8.NNNN-x86_64-1
pkgs.netsurf-FB
spm-19.06.26-noarch-2.xzm

4. replace pkg.netsurf-3.8.4710-x86_64-1 with pkgs.netsurf-3.8.NNNN-x86_64-1

Code: Select all

# ls -1 pkgs.netsurf-FB
font
lib4netsurf-3.8.4710-x86_64-1
pkg.netsurf-3.8.4710-x86_64-1
slklib64
xcb-util-0.4.0-x86_64-3
# rm -fr pkgs.netsurf-FB/pkg.netsurf-3.8.4710-x86_64-1
# mv pkgs.netsurf-3.8.NNNN-x86_64-1 pkgs.netsurf-FB/pkg.netsurf-3.8.NNNN-x86_64-1

Note 1: pkgs... ---> pkg...
Note 2: next remove directory will be pkgs.netsurf-FB/pkg.netsurf-3.8.NNNN-x86_64-1.

5. build new netsurf-FB.xzm

Code: Select all

# mv netsurf-FB.xzm old.netsurf-FB.xzm
# pkgs2xzm pkgs.netsurf-FB
# rm -fr pkgs.netsurf-FB netsurf-3.8.NNNN-x86_64-1.xzm
# ls -1
binutils-2.26-x86_64-3.xzm
netsurf-FB.xzm
old.netsurf-FB.xzm
spm-19.06.26-noarch-2.xzm

Thanks.
