but for a low-resource browser, i really like dillo,
and as both zachs and you have said, it's very fast.
it also gives nicer support for the graphical style
that has become so prevalent in today's websites.
To look at one 1280x1024 photo, links2 in svga mode uses 2.1% of my 512MB, dillo uses 1.3% but Xvesa another .8% (and icewm .2.) Links2 in X probably does not use much more (I seem to have messed up two consoles testing so cannot check right now).
links2 with ssl for BL3 X is 3.7MB.
dillo 8 is 330K but the dependencies add up to over 3MB, and it does not do frames or SSL or any javascript.
I tested Dillo 0.8.0. 0.8.6 has switched to FLTK2 (a 2.5MB source download). Should I post it with dillorc? (Do you know if 8.5 is also FLTK2?). FLTK is supposed to be much faster but with a dialup connection I would not notice.
the only version of bl i use is 3.50, so i was
hoping that a version of dillo would work with that.
but when i looked at what's in the tar file, i saw
that it was loaded with dependencies. so that's why
i waited and asked here first.
I have not been able to compile much for libc5 - lots of error messages about things missing. If you add a few libraries from glibc of SW81 you can use what I compiled and also Opera.
actually, it was silly of me to think that dillo 2.0
would work, because i know that bl's kernel is 2.2.
but is there a slackware 4 package for it? and would
Dillo ('8 years old') is newer than Slackware 4 (1999).
I could not find it precompiled for libc5 but they tweaked a few things so it would compile, they say.
I compiled elinks but it does not work right with 2.2 kernel.
I compiled some small 2.4.31 kernels. http://keesan.freeshell.org/blfiles.
bzimlsfu.431 for laptops supports framebuffer (xfbdev)
dillo work ok in bl3.50?

Why do you want Dillo rather than links, links2, elinks, lynx, or Opera?
I could attempt to compile it for BL2 (glibc 2.2.5).
The sourceforge site says it is written in C and is under 300K source with
200K binary. Very fast. No support for frames, or SSL (links1 and 2 have
both). Or FTP.
dillo latest file release 0.6.4 Jan 29 2002. 284K source. 1.9K/sec.
tar -zxvf dillo*
./configure
make (default configuration)
It compiled very quickly and it works.
Lots of dependencies - libjpeg.so.62, libpng.so.3, libgtk-1.2, libgdk-1.2,
libgmodule-1.2, libglib-1.2, libXext.so.6, libX11.so.6 (would the BL3 ones
work?). libz.so.1. If I compiled statically it would be quite large.
I happened to have these for other reasons but they would use
up a lot of space in basic BL. libgtk-1.2.so.0 alone is 1.3MB.
It loaded very fast. Has Bookmarks. I now have two (blank) tabs at page
bottom for two sites. Not a lot of features, but it is fast. I had to
use a mouse to navigate between links.
It displays quickly at llbean.com.
If you want to add libc and libm 2.2.5 (libdl?) and the other dependencies
(which I think can be from Slackware 4.0) I will upload the file and also
dillorc. Let me know.
I prefer a browser that works for online mail, at the library, etc.
Have you tried links2?

i've been waiting for a response to this for 3 days.
can anyone help? thanks.
No answer usually means nobody can help.
I asked for help compiling elinks with javascript, etc.

i've been using links in text mode and
links2 under x in BL3.50, but would like
to try dillo under x.
i downloaded the dillo-2.0.tar.bz2 file from the
dillo.org website, but i see before unpacking it
that it contains a ton of files, which is not
what i was expecting.
this is mainly for my toshiba t4800ct, which
is 486 machine with 12mb of ram.
is there already a package available for
dillo 2.0 (or even for an earlier one) from
Slackware? if so, please give a link. thanks.
