The work did eocene from the dillo team.

neko_dillo-3.0.4.tardist is uploaded to incoming. The tardist at the link from my previous post is also updated.

Don't expect too much from dillo. It's just a very basic browser, but it is very fast. It's fun to surf on this forum with dillo on my R5000 Indy.

terrific news
big thanks to to whoever fixed it and diegel for providing them with access to one of his machines. great to see that they do care about things outside of win/mac/linux at all

I'm heartbroken. But I've got dillo on the Fuel, so I'll get over it.

Where are their patches, btw?

Yes... thank you to the Dillo team and diegel for putting Irix on the map for this browser..!

errrm, just read the changelog and found:

- Fix compiling on IRIX with MIPSpro compiler.

although it sounds great it's wrong i'm afraid. the mipspro killers are still in there.

posted from dillo3 btw


EDIT:
a small change to the second part of the patch. instead of

simply use:


unless there was a very specific reason for that sort of bloat

dillo 3.0.4 includes some changes from vishnu's attempt.

You are right, it was late yesterday. The patch will be obsolete with the next version of dillo, they will be fix this two problems. This code will be used only when a download with wget is started, I don't think it's really needed for Irix.

oh that's nice but it's still wrong. it does not compile with mipspro at all

now i could of course not help but try it on 6.2 because that's where something like dillo is needed most. managed to compensate the missing snprintf and isinf but dns.c seems to expect more content from struct addrinfo:


that might need a more serious workaround. defining the missing macros is no problem of course but finding adequate substitues for the missing or different struct members ...

Certainly is fast. No way to change font sizes tho ? That's kind of difficult at high res

You want to add a dillorc in the .dillo directory, there you can edit the font_factor. A sample you can find here http://www.dillo.org/dillorc

Very impressive!

Once again, thank you for your hard work diegel.

If 6.2 is possible... how easy would the step be to get it then going on 5.3?

not easy at all. 5.3 lacks even more than 6.2 and so far it's totally unclear if it'll run on 6.2 at all

Thank you, Sorry for being lazy. Font handling is a little goofy but the speed is certainly nice.

If nothing else, dillo demonstrates that a decent browser is possible. One drawback, it's extremely fast on a site like nekochan, which is already pretty fast. On the sites that are dogs, it doesn't work. So maybe it's mostly useful for older hardware ?

Still nice to have tho.

It is very good for slower O2 or Indy Hardware. I will try to build a MIPS3 version, when I have some time. Dillo is still under develpment, so it will be usable for more modern sites in the future.

hamei wrote: On the sites that are dogs, it doesn't work.

of course because the reason why these sites are slow is the amount of bloat they use a.k.a. js, flash and whatnot ... which dillo (thankfully) doesn't handle at all

Really looking forward to trying this out on my Indigo2 when I get chance

You know what else it would be great for ? Viewing html documentation. Opens and closes instantly, instead of loading the kitchen sink to just look at simple html. Think I'll set it as the default web browser in the toolchest and see how that works out ...

That's actually a really good idea ...
