[Buildroot] XWindow Browser, anyone ?

[Andrea Benini]

Hi guys,
Has someone ever ported a browser suitable for X ?
I've seen Lynx in packages directory but I'm just looking for something
nice for XWindow, I'm trying to compile XUL for Firefox but it seems to be
hard with uclibc libs.
Is there someone with a package for Firefox, Chromium, Opera or something
else available under X ? I'd like to create a minimal XWindow system with a
browser but without success yet, and of course I'm not interested in
Chromium OS, buildroot system is still my favorite choice.

Thanks in advance for your reply
Cheers

Ben

You can have a look at Midori, for which we have a package in
Buildroot. Another alternative is to use the WebKit rendering engine
built-in with Qt and develop a small web browser in Qt with a few lines
of code (there are many examples available on the Web), or even to
compile a simple Qt-based web browser.

Best regards,

 Have you tried midori?  It's under X applications.

I have used Midori for this, works great and I was manage to fit it with
OS into 30 MB Flash card :)

I've never used these packages so I'm a newbie with both, it seems Midori
is based on Webkit (at least according to their official docs), I'll surely
give it a try to see how it looks. I'm complaining about advanced features
(SSO support) so I've started my work with Chromium and FF because I
heavily use both but browsers dependencies are huge and I guess not easily
portable in a cross platform environment (at least for my limited
experience). I'll build my own browser only if it'll miss some needed
features: SSO, kiosk, JS/CSS, basic realm auth and so on.
I've looked at the packages dir but Midori was a totally new name for me,
(grep firefox, chrom, links, saf, ...) and I didn't know about it

I guess I'll stay in 30mb as well, XWindow+TWM+Midori (when done)

Thanks guys

[Buildroot] XWindow Browser, anyone ?

[denisebrise]

Hello,

I am currently working on Buildroot 2015.11.1 and using Midori as web
browser on my target (IMX6). However, this web browser is not fully
compatible with NoVNC : Midori can display remote screen, but not interact
with mouse click.

My first idea was to add chromium package (from :
https://gfiber.googlesource.com/buildroot/+/master/package/chromium/), but I
am stucked as from the beginning :

	make chromium
	make[1]: *** No rule to make target `chromium'.  Stop.
	make: *** [_all] Error 2

same probleme with two of it's dependencies :

	make bcm-commonm
	make[1]: *** No rule to make target `bcm-common'.  Stop.
	make: *** [_all] Error 2

	make bcm-rockford
	make[1]: *** No rule to make target `bcm-rockford'.  Stop.
	make: *** [_all] Error 2

When looking in chromium.mk, I found this line :

	CHROMIUM_SITE=rrepo://chromium

same thing for bcm_common and bcm_rockford :

	BCM_COMMON_SITE=repo://vendor/broadcom/common
	BCM_ROCKFORD_SITE=repo://vendor/broadcom/rockford

I think it is related to my problem, but I have no idea on how to replace
these lines ?

I would enjoy any help or solution with another compatible browser

You're looking at the Buildroot fork from Google for the Google Fiber
project. There is no chromium package in the official Buildroot.
