 Dillo
=======


  If  you're  using  libc5,  don't worry, I used to use libc5! If
you're  brave,  edit  'dns.c'  and  uncomment  line  45, pray and
compile.  If  it  doesn't  work, email me (most probably a header
include problem); if you succeed, report it to me anyway!


  Currently dillo requires GTK+-1.2.x (2.0 will not compile).

  If  you  get an error that dillo can't load the shared library,
try "setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/lib", or wherever you have
your gtk+ libs.

  Dillo  can  be  invoked  with  command  line options. Just type
'dillo --help' to know about them.

  You  may  experience  some  font handling problems derived from
locale  handling (for instance if you use LC_ALL=sv_SE). Just try
LC_ALL=POSIX and it will be fine.

  There's  a  small  chance  of experiencing dillo "freezes" with
certain  linux  kernels.  This  is a _kernel bug_, from the 2.2.x
series  up to 2.4.8. From 2.4.9 it has been corrected. The bug is
inside poll() and the best that you can do is to upgrade.
  If  you  can't upgrade the kernel though, this workaround patch
for dillo may help you:
  http://www.ime.usp.br/~livio/dillo/patches/poll-fix-fast.diff

  Dpi  programs  must  be  installed  somewhere  in your PATH, or
alternatively in the user's ~/.dillo/ directory.

  Once  you  have dillo running for the first time, the next step
is to read the help! (there's a link from the splash screen).

  This is still alpha code, but it is very stable.

  Here's a list of some well known problems:

      * no FRAMES rendering
      * no FTP
      * no https


----
*BSD
----

  Dillo  compiles  on *BSD systems; Starting from dillo-0.6.5, we
included special detection code (at ./configure time) that should
arrange  everything  for  a  clean  compile, but please note that
you'll need GNU make.


-------
Solaris
-------

  Dillo compiles and runs OK on Solaris but:

    * use gmake (a symbolic link make -> gmake works OK)
    * If you have trouble with GTK and GLIB from the Freeware
      Companion CD, get the ones at www.sunfreeware.com instead.

  These environment vars may help setting yours:

PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/dt/bin:/usr/openwin/bin:/usr/local/b
in:/opt/sfw/bi:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/ucb
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/lib/glib:
/opt/sfw/lib:/sr/ucblib

  Solaris is very inconsistent so you may need to add/remove:

  -lrt -lposix4

  at link time.


---
gcc
---

  gcc 2.95.2 has problems with -O2:
     "-O2 -mcpu=pentium"                works fine.
     "-O0 -mcpu=k6 -march=pentium -g3"  works fine also.
     "-O -mcpu=k6 -march=pentium -g3"   works fine as well, but
     "-O2 -mcpu=k6 -march=pentium -g3"  doesn't work. Then again
     "-O6 -mcpu=pentium -march=pentium -g3" DOES work.
