progress:
violaWWW, the first browser having scripting and style sheet capabilities. latest version is 3.3.
Hacks: using rs6000 config and follow gcc error messages to fix.
Status: double free/pointer corrupt, munmap_chunk(): invalid pointer when exit, HTFWriter_put_character segfaults when connecting Google, almost no online capability.
Screen shot:
viola (pure Xlib version):
vw (viola motif version):
midasWWW, an early browser which runs in VMX system.
Hacks: follow gcc error messages to fix.
Status:
- It builds, and it dies in startup with buffer overflow of libMrm(MrmOpenHierarchy-->Urm__OpenHierarchy-->UrmIdbOpenFileRead-->Idb__HDR_GetHeader-->__strcpy_chk) when reading /usr/local/lib/midas.uid. libmotif uil generates midas.uid and midaswww.uid correctly.
- (18/12/2009 12:00 GMT+8) open motif 2.2.3-4 in utuntu 9.10 seems buggy and I had to rebuilt open motif 2.3.2 from sources with "--enable-xft --enable-jpeg --enable-png", but Midas only popups "Error Dialog Label" and stalls.
