Which sources? NetSurf? They are all at http://git.netsurf-browser.org
You'll need most of the libraries (libnsgif, libnsbmp, libwapcaplet, libhubbub, libdom, libcss, libparserutils.. think that's all of them)
You need to grab everything using Git unfortunately, as there's no other way to download it. Don't bother with v2.9, there have been so many changes since then you'd be wasting your time.

You also need to download "buildsystem", which needs to go into a directory called "share" (or you can try "make install" but it could end up anywhere, or nowhere)

Start with libnsgif or libnsbmp, they are single-file libraries which will test if your build environment is working as expected.

You should be able to build them with "make TARGET=amigaos3 BUILD=release PREFIX=/path/to/buildsystem", you might not need the target bit but the makefiles expect AmigaOS to be AmigaOS 4, so it could potentially cause problems without it.

Please read the "getting started coding" page on the wiki http://wiki.netsurf-browser.org

Bummer, I was hoping to be able to download a source archive. I wont use git, so I guess I'll have to let someone else build it. Thanks anyway.

i dont understand whats wrong with git. if i was able to check out the sources in an instant both under cygwin, but also under ubuntu, then everybody is. one needs a linux derivate compiling environment anyway.

maybe it was something the patch was correcting, some diff between 2.14 and 2.19.1..

could someone indeed add a "clean" option to the makefile? when i restart make at this point i constantly get:
mv: cannot move `gcc-4.5.1' to `/home/huhu/toolchains/m68k-unknown-amigaos/builddir/srcdir/gcc/gcc-4.5.1': Directory not empty

and i have to mess with dirs by hand..

just delete the entire builddir directory, and it will unpack and patch all over again.
However as all amiga compilers i have downloaded in the last 10 years used really old binutils, I guess you really need 2.14, no idea how to get that from svn though.

yeah, figured that out, but im completely inexperienced with linux, and fear to mess something really hard. i ive done just a second ago. grrr.

im trying to use 2.19.1 one originally mentioned here. its all patched to amiga, likely nothing else will work. and the amiga exclusive files even in os4 tree seem even to origiate from 68k. 1998 or so...

[wawrzon]

most annoying is finding out the correct syntax for all that makefile comandes like svn and stuff.
if i had it all locally and had not to connect to repos all would go faster of course.

compiling this was pain in the ass,
when something went wrong it started from the begining.
you can use make -i to ignore errors and see how far you will go

When v3.0 is released source archives will be available for download. The 2.9 ones are available now, but as I say it's not worthwhile working with those as 3.0 will be released in the next 2-3 months.

thanks will have another stab at it today. will see your makefile for comparison.

[wawrzon]

artur, can you send me the makefile for comparison?

[apj]

sent

[wawrzon]

thanks. looks like you ve left all untouched. okay so just copied binutils to sources dir as binutils-2.14
still after the makefile copied it to /builddir/srcdir/binutils/ complains about denied permission.

thanks, suspected something like that. coming a little further now.
