WebPositive (#HaikuOS #Webkit Browser) Nightly

if you want the nightly WebPositive browser here is the page where you can download the latest

I have just downloaded the WebPositive-r526.zip and unziped in the /boot partition as usual

but there are errors with symbols (old libcrypto and ssl libs )

./WebPositive 
runtime_loader: /boot/apps/WebPositive/lib/libwebcore.so: Could not resolve symbol '_ZNK9BLanguage2IDEv'
resolve symbol "_ZNK9BLanguage2IDEv" returned: -2147478780
runtime_loader: /boot/apps/WebPositive/lib/libwebcore.so: Troubles relocating: Symbol not found

But that didn't solved the problem so i have installed a version that is older v.515

In the end i have tested also tested the newer version from the optional area but they need newer icu 4.4 and other libs , I will try later


i miss apt-get update / install ...

building #arora-browser stable + latest stable sdk for #qt on #windows

1.install qt sdk (latest stable)
2.install arora src and extract it
3.open it with qt creator 

arora build solution and it will give the  error mingwm10.dll not found 


i did a little googling and found the solution 

If you install QT on windows via 

the install executable  it creates a shortcut 

in the start menu that is called "QT 4.X.X Command Prompt" that is a 

call to your $ $COMSPEC (cmd.exe most likely) calling qtvars.bat which 

sets up you env for you. 

But it still crashed both the console and arora application

 i have openned the src.pro soulution and rebuilded
and  i write this from it :) 


What is next : building as static exe and eliminate the cmd.exe
console from mingw

Quote of the day is about Chrome and features

Per-process execution is a feature in Chromium (Google Chrome), not V8. And it is really needed anyway if one is using V8, because V8 is not thread safe.

So that is why you have one process for Tab in chrome (it's a bug called feature in V8)

Arora is default full featured browser in Kubuntu

Arora is a simple cross platform web browser whose feature list includes things like "History" and "Bookmarks". It has a small code base and loads of fun to hack on. Benjamin Meyer originally created as a demo for Qt to help test the QtWebKit component and find API issues and bugs before the release Arora works with almost all websites and offers nice features like HTML 5, but needs some more features to give it the same parity as existing browsers. Arora should work with Web 2.0 websites we consider to be critical to our users. These include Slashdot, GMail, Google Calendar, Facebook, Flickr, Youtube, Yahoo and of course kubuntu.org.

[ED: tested the Slashdot , reddit , gmail , facebook , youtube, flickr and yahoo and all work OK , also wordpress.com and firebirdnews.org admin area

Arora passes 99/100 tests from acid3 tests also gets good scores on browser benchmarks http://service.futuremark.com/peacekeeper/results.action?key=1Ei0

now i have the webkit for building arora and ibase library to access firebird

I propose an End Of Life Date for all IE browsers

DEC 31 2009

I'm little bit too optimistic but we can start with ie6 then 7 in 2010 and then ie 8 in 2011

also we can add an javascript to blogs so that message should be shown if browser is ie

Success with arora 0.4+qt4.5 and flash 10

Here is my script for installing arora 0.4 + qt4.5 from git . Flash 10 for 64bits is already installed by hand.

If you get an error there is an issue with BR translation that will be solved soon

Enabling webkit's WebInspector in arora browser
Click on Tools -> Enable Web Inspector
then right click -> Inspect



and here are some nice graphs when you click on profiles

arora from source 

You need to install all build  dependencies

sudo apt-get install libqt4-dev flex gperf

here is my script on ubuntu

svn checkout http://svn.webkit.org/repository/webkit/trunk WebKit

git clone git://github.com/Arora/arora.git

cd WebKit

./WebKitTools/Scripts/build-webkit --qt --qmake=qmake-qt4

cd ../arora

export QT_WEBKIT=webkit_trunk

What have I got against Firefox 3?
[ED: i agree with this post about the new firefox , they (moz
Corporation ) are headed to a wrong way IMHO and i will stick to epiphany/webkit browsers i also hate the fsking awesome slow bar ]

It’s a known issue that I’m not thrilled with Firefox 3. There are some nice improvements to it, but after seeing the progress of development through the betas and seeing where Firefox 3 was headed I decided it had been time to try out other browsers.
