@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 ..." — github.com/dillo-browser/dillo

@jame @scruss @suetanvil @dillo WSL is a gigantic install dependency, heh.

@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.

if you need smol, maybe try NetSurf — netsurf-browser.org/

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.
