Gregory's Server@suetanvil @jame @dillo Same. I wonder what would be involved in compiling it for Windows?

@dillo @suetanvil @jame Ah, requiring an X server to run will make it inappropriate in many contexts. Maybe later? If it's a decent alternative Chrome it could get a lot of uptake.   @dillo @rodneylives @suetanvil yes! i compiled dillo 3.1 on Ubuntu WSL and it works perfectly, it even shows up in my windows start menu and everything  @rodneylives @suetanvil @jame @dillo Building on Windows doesn't look like my idea of fun: "Dillo can be built for Windows (tested on Windows 11) by using the Cygwin POSIX portability layer and run with Xorg ..." — https://github.com/dillo-browser/dillo/blob/master/doc/install.md#windows-via-cygwin @scruss @rodneylives @suetanvil @dillo with WSL i simply follow the linux instructions and everything just works @jame @scruss @suetanvil @dillo I run Linux on a couple of machines though, and aspire to run it on my daily driver eventually. @rodneylives @jame @scruss @suetanvil @dillo I've built #Dillo 3.1.0 on Windows 11 using #Cygwin without problems and it takes only 5MB of RAM on startup, but requires X Window Server. @scruss @suetanvil @jame @dillo Yeah. But the project was just revived, give it some time. @rodneylives @jame it's built on top of FLTK, which might be hard to unpick. @suetanvil  It looks like FLTK supports native Win32, so the Dillo issue seems more like a configuration problem on their end. It's likely that someone with sufficient Windows skills can get it to work as a native app. |
@rodneylives @suetanvil @jame try this:
