NetSurf version 3.10
Released 24th May 2020
A small and light browser with some javascript support.
https://www.netsurf-browser.org
I have compiled and uploaded some experimental builds in various Puppies
Offered strictly for testing purposes only

I will probably add a few more over the next few days.
In older Puppies such as Wheezy and Slacko 5.7 there seems to be an error with openssl
If I try upgading openssl I then get what looks like a GTK error so maybe the GTK version is too old? There are new features to the GUI such as a customisable toolbar so maybe it is connected with that.

Hi OscarTalks!
I'm here now in NetSurf 3.10 32 bit, booted into ScPup LXQt 32bit on my
old Acer netbook. This could be a good "basic browser" for 32 bit Pups,
in place of others such as Light (currently included in ScPup 20.01 +6),
as long as potential users were advised that NetSurf is not a full-feature
browser, and give directions where to obtain them.
Thank you for working on this!

Installed and running on Xenialpup32. Actually, I upgraded from 3.98(?). Tested the new customisable toolbar, drag and dropped several items, worked fine.

Thanks for this, OscarTalks

Tested in tahr64-light, working ok.

OscarTalks-

Could a version for 32 bit Tahr be compiled? Or would this have the openssl issue?

Thanks

When I tried compiling it in official Tahr-6.0.5 it gave errors
Same with Slacko 6.3.2 (Slackware 14.1)
I might take another look later when I get some time or if an idea springs to mind.

I had a peek at your 3.9 version for slacko's.

Seems that gtk needs to be 2.3
IIRC slacko5.7 is 2.1

You might have to trace HTML libs, some have html in the name.

Here is a PET for EasyOS and EasyPup:

https://bkhome.org/news/202006/missing- ... tsurf.html

Though, there will be some missing icons, fixed for next release of Easy, which will be version 2.3.1.

It will probably work in other Debian Buster based pups. The only thing wrong I think is /root/.config/netsurf/Choices has some different paths, that you can edit.

Then maybe run "ldd /usr/bin/netsurf" to check that all the libraries are there.
