François Revol, aka mmu_man, aka kung fu master, aka "Haiku's Carradine", has updated the Links Haiku port.. This is Links, the text and images browser, not to be confused with Lynx, which is the text only sibling. Links can for example use X11, or another GUI available, to display the site's images. As you can see from the screenshots below (thanks François), it's a basic but working browser. It's no Firefox and definitely no Internet Explorer (I kid, I kid), but it does what it's supposed to do. Good job François, now go finish the other stuff ;) Update: François got the graphics support almost done, as you can see in this screenshot. Update 2: My apologies to Michael Lotz. As he rightfully wrote on his comment, he first brought Links to Haiku. When talking with François he stated that he was only updating the code, but I neglected to update the title and remove the part of the first sentence mentioning he was bringing it to Haiku. We even ran a piece on it! *smacks forehead*. So once again my apologies to Michael and thanks for correcting me. We all know how much I need that :) |

Even networking was up at this time so the haiku-os.org screenshot is for real. I detailed the process back then in my blog hat http://haiku.mlotz.ch/.
ICO had a news post about it on April 10 2005. It was actually the first "semi-graphical" application to run under Haiku besides the MiniTerminal it ran inside.
Though you didn't write the gui code
(actually your diff seems not very clean on some parts, though mine doesn't actually add HAIKU as a different target).
I just updated the zip, now scrolling works and it's way faster as debug output is disabled.

(should work in R5-bone and haiku; still misses jpg support, didn't have the lib installed in the bone devkit)
Btw, I'm starting to look at elinks (has some CSS support and JS) now, already built it with X11 in zeta.
Oh well we'll have webkit anyway someday
