NetSurf certainly can be built on RISC OS, but I'm not sure if there are any active developers who actually do it on a regular basis. I build on Linux using the GCCSDK cross compiler, as it's a lot faster and comes with better support for source control and the like. I've probably got some notes somewhere from the last time I tried building NetSurf natively on RISC OS. I've an idea that the process may have changed recently, however, so it might be best for me to hang fire on digging those out until others more knowledgeable have had a chance to comment. -- Steve Fryatt - Leeds, England http://www.stevefryatt.org.uk/
