The 'static' midori package (install using tar -zxvf on /) requires libstdc++.so.6 (as does Firefox) and ldd on the included libraries reveals that it also needs gtk2 (pango cairo glib gmodule libgio freetype xml2) and maybe other things that Puppy already has.

Someone should try to add gtk2 to Puppy (Slackware 11 glibc?) and then experiment with this century's browsers. We hope to have 'slow' DSL in a month.


I checked for the 'static' Midori dependencies in Slackware 11.
(Static may only mean it includes glibc?).

I cannot find libgio (GNOME input/output library written in C) at linuxpackages.net or anywhere else, or even the source code for it. The Puppy Linux version probably needs a newer glibc than SW11.

Steven, can you help with this? I would like to make a package of the Midori dependencies and whatever else is needed by Seamonkey 2, Firefox 3, and other GTK2 browsers.

The others total 8MB, and apart from libsqlite3 (which I compiled a while back), are in packages elflibs, gtk+2, atk pango cairo freetype fontconfig and libxml2. The gtk2 solib is 3MB. (gtk1 solib is 1.3MB). Midori is 2.5MB. Any computer fast enough to run gtk1 programs will probably have enough memory for gtk2 unless libgtk expands somehow when in memory.
Puppy Linux seems to run GTK2 Seamonkey okay at 200MHz (with enough RAM).
