This is a port of the Netsurf Browser to the Plan 9 (9front) operating system.
This is work in progress, help is welcome.
Ensure that your system is up to date (see FQA#5) as patches to the system are sometimes required to help with porting NetSurf.
All sources can be retrieved using the git9 client.
To retrieve all the sources, you will have to clone the nsport
repository and then use the fetch
script to clone the remaining repositories:
% git/clone https://github.com/netsurf-plan9/nsport
% cd nsport
% fetch clone http
To update your copy of the sources:
% cd nsport
% fetch pull
Note: if you have a Github account and have registered your public SSH key on Github, you can clone the repositories using the git+ssh protocol (git+ssh://git@github.com/netsurf-plan9/nsport).
To build Netsurf, go to the directory nsport and run mk
:
% cd nsport
% mk
% mk install
First, make sure webfs
is running then execute the netsurf binary:
% netsurf
If you did not install NetSurf system-wide (you should), you can run it from within the netsurf
directory:
% mk resources/Messages # create Messages file
% prepns # binds 'resources' directory over /sys/lib/netsurf
% *.netsurf # runs the binary you compiled (e.g. for your architecture [568])
