Unix
Much of Unix's history is rooted in open-source software. The Unix version of Mozilla is an exciting, open source project that encourages all developers to help build the better browser. Mozilla has a cross-platform (XP) architecture using NGLayout and XPToolkit, and the primary UI is implemented with GTK+.
Current Status. . . . .
previous status
[August 24, 1999]
Jim Dunn reports that HP-UX 10.20 builds and runs viewer using the aCC compiler.
Steve Lamm has hacked the tinderbox client script to do properly-timed reporting, and it now uses a driver script so we can stop hacking the main script to change the machine names, etc. If you're running a tinderbox, please check out a new client and test this: mozilla/tools/tinderbox.
The Xlib emedding example is now part of the default build. (ramiro)
Ramiro Estrugo has added support for multiple toolkits in the same build tree.
gfx rendered widgets are scheduled to get turned on soon. (kmcclusk). Some problems here are the URL bar not working, combobox is a little flakey, things like that. Turn this on with:
Viewer: Style|Widget Render Mode|Gfx
Apprunner: Edit|Preferences..|Appearance|Widget Rendering|gfx
[August 22, 1999]
Shawn Packwood has checked in code to get viewer working with Qt.
Linux: bug 8849 is forcing us to consider dropping support for [glibc2.0,kernel2.2]. Redhat 5.2 & equivalent will have problems running apprunner, upgrading to 6.0 works around this problem. (blizzard)
ramiro has been steadily purging the build system of unnecessary couplings, this will increase modularity and help systems like BeOS start building again.
gfx-rendered widgets get turned (all the way) on during the week of Aug. 23. (kmcclusk)
