Dillo web browser

Dillo is a multi-platform graphical web browser, known for its speed and small footprint, that is developed with a focus on personal security and privacy.

The dillo3 series uses version 1.3.x of the FLTK GUI toolkit (http://fltk.org).

The core team currently plans to focus on implementing the CSS feature of floating elements. This will greatly improve dillo's web page rendering since many sites have adopted floats instead of tables.

The core team welcomes developers willing to join our workforce.

NOTE: With FLTK-1.3, when running on X with Xft enabled (the default), font naming is more restricted than it was with FLTK2 as used by dillo2. If your font_* preferences are no longer working well, please try the fc-list command as it is shown in dillorc.

Here's a list of some old well-known problems of dillo:

     * no FRAMES rendering
     * https code not yet fully trusted
       (enable it with: ./configure --enable-ssl ).

FLTK-1.3

If you don't have FLTK-1.3 (try 'fltk-config --version' to check), you can get it from:

 http://fltk.org/software.php

and build it like:

 tar zxvf fltk-1.3.3-source.tar.gz      [or latest 1.3.x version]
 cd fltk-1.3.3
 less README.Unix.txt
 make
 sudo make install
 cd ..

Dillo3

 tar jxvf dillo-3.0.5.tar.bz2
 cd dillo-3.0.5
 ./configure; make
 sudo make install-strip

In order to use the hyphenation feature, pattern files from CTAN need to be installed. This can be done with the script dillo-install-hyphenation. Call it with ISO-639-1 language codes as arguments, or without arguments to get more help.

Dpi programs

These are installed by "make install". If you don't have root access, copy "dillo" and "dpid" to some directory in your path and install the dpis by running "./install-dpi-local" from the top directory (they will be installed under ~/.dillo).

*BSD

Dillo compiles on *BSD systems; please report on this anyway, and note that you'll need GNU make.

If your dillo crashes or locks at times, just use:

./configure --disable-threaded-dns

so dillo uses a single thread for name resolving.

Solaris

Dillo may compile and run OK on Solaris but (please report):

* use gmake (a symbolic link make -> gmake works OK)

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

-lrt -lposix4

at link time.
