NxZilla

Introduction
NXZILLA (formerly nanozilla) is a set of libraries that allow Mozilla to be used with a NanoX server. The NxZilla project has been adopted by the maintainers; It was originaly a developed while we were employed by TUXIA GmbH.

In This Release
This is the fourth release of the NanoX libraries for Mozilla, and is primarily a development release. While you can compile it with Mozilla 1.0rc2, the actual functionality still leaves much to be desired. If you plan on using this as it currently stands to actually do anything with, your crazy.

Known Bugs and Issues
Plugins: The plugin manager has not been ported to NanoX. Therefore nxzilla does not currently support plugins. Legacy plugins: Legacy plugins will NEVER be supported as they are written in either Motif or Xt. Fonts: Font handling has gone down the gurgler since our last release. No fonts or font styles other than the default are currently supported Leaks: There are major region leaks in the gfx code. We suspect this to stem from nsImage's handling of composite images. Embedding: The embedded interface has not been started. Therefore there is still no way to embed gecko into an FLTK application.

TODO
There is still lots to do (see above), so grab the source tarball and the Mozilla source and start hacking.

Download
You will need the Widget and Gfx source code as well as this patch against the mozilla build system. You will need the Nano-X source. The version of Nano-X supported by this release is microwindows-0.89pre8 You also need the mozilla source. The version of mozilla supported by this release is mozilla-1.0rc2

Building
Complete steps to build NxZilla Untar microwindows to a directory cd to the microwindows source directory Edit the 'config' file to your target systems configuration. Make sure you specify SHAREDLIBS = Y. Build Nano-X Untar the mozilla source to a directory Untar the nxzilla source into the directory where you untarred mozilla cd to the directory where the mozilla directory is Apply the patch to the mozilla build system cd into the mozilla directory Run autoconf to create a new configure script run `./configure --enable-toolkit-nanox --with-nanox-includes= --with-nanox-libraries=` Run make Many people have had problems with these instructions. Therefore, here is an example set of specific instructions. It is assumed that all files downloaded have been placed in your home directory. The steps described here follow 1:1 with the steps described above. `gzip -dc ~/microwindows-0.89pre8.tar.gz -C /tmp` `cd /tmp/microwin/src` `vi config` `make` `bzip2 -dc ~/mozilla-source-1.0rc2.tar.bz2 \| tar -xvf - -C /tmp` `gzip -dc ~/nxzilla.tar.gz \| tar -xvf - -C /tmp` `cd /tmp` `gzip -dc ~/nxzilla.diff.gz \| patch -p0` `cd /tmp/mozilla` `autoconf` `./configure --enable-toolkit-nanox --with-nanox-includes=/tmp/microwin/src/include --with-nanox-libraries=/tmp/microwin/src/lib` `make` What to do next More people have had trouble actually running NxZilla, so here are instructions on how to do that also. It is assumed the working directory is mozilla/dist/bin. GTK components must be removed in order to use NxZilla, as GTK is the default widget set used. This can be accomplished by running `rm components/gtk` For NxZilla to find the Nano-X libraries, you must add it to your library path. Do this by typing: `export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/tmp/microwin/src/lib` After these 2 requirements are met, you should be able to start the Nano-X server and run ./mozilla

Building

Complete steps to build NxZilla

Untar microwindows to a directory
cd to the microwindows source directory
Edit the 'config' file to your target systems configuration. Make sure you specify SHAREDLIBS = Y.
Build Nano-X
Untar the mozilla source to a directory
Untar the nxzilla source into the directory where you untarred mozilla
cd to the directory where the mozilla directory is
Apply the patch to the mozilla build system
cd into the mozilla directory
Run autoconf to create a new configure script
run ./configure --enable-toolkit-nanox --with-nanox-includes= --with-nanox-libraries=
Run make

Many people have had problems with these instructions. Therefore, here is an example set of specific instructions. It is assumed that all files downloaded have been placed in your home directory. The steps described here follow 1:1 with the steps described above.

gzip -dc ~/microwindows-0.89pre8.tar.gz -C /tmp
cd /tmp/microwin/src
vi config
make
bzip2 -dc ~/mozilla-source-1.0rc2.tar.bz2 | tar -xvf - -C /tmp
gzip -dc ~/nxzilla.tar.gz | tar -xvf - -C /tmp
cd /tmp
gzip -dc ~/nxzilla.diff.gz | patch -p0
cd /tmp/mozilla
autoconf
./configure --enable-toolkit-nanox --with-nanox-includes=/tmp/microwin/src/include --with-nanox-libraries=/tmp/microwin/src/lib
make

What to do next
More people have had trouble actually running NxZilla, so here are instructions on how to do that also. It is assumed the working directory is mozilla/dist/bin.

GTK components must be removed in order to use NxZilla, as GTK is the default widget set used. This can be accomplished by running rm components/*gtk*
For NxZilla to find the Nano-X libraries, you must add it to your library path. Do this by typing:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/tmp/microwin/src/lib
After these 2 requirements are met, you should be able to start the Nano-X server and run ./mozilla
