Interesting, this has never managed to hit us before and we cross-compile lots of stuff. Well spotted. > 2.

Which shell do you use? We have several developers who use our env.sh on Ubuntu so we'd like to track down these issues. > 3.

I'm afraid I'm not au-fait with fbtk, but perhaps Michael Drake can jump in here. > 4.

Font rendering for the framebuffer frontend is handled by NS separately from the framebuffer physical layer. Adding SDL-ttf would imply making NetSurf's codebase have SDL content. Perhaps better would be to push more of the font rendering into libnsfb and then the option would open up. > Questions: > - Somebody got libmozjs running with NetSurf under arm? libmozjs is very difficult to get going on ARM reliably (we have it working on RISC OS (ish)). I suggest you do not attempt to build JavaScript support for now. We're slowly evaluating other JS options which might make it easier for us to port. > - running nsfb gives a browser window but no website appears just left > bottom said "BadEncoding". > Webserver gets a "http OK" so i think the data is delivered to the > browser. > Doing something wrong? If you run NetSurf with the -v option, it'll give a lot of useful messages on stdout/stderr. Capture those into a log and we may be able to help further.
