How to build with framebuffer usage?

[Peter Wiehe]

Hi all,

how do I build netsurf on Linux with framebuffer usage instead of gtk?

(I tried already TARGET=framebuffer in the makefile, but that didn't 
work.)

Thanks for the hint about the quickstart guide. The docs are a bit 
difficult to find (for a newbie) because they hide in the netsurf 
sub-directory. The quickstart guide did atually not help, but I saw a 
framebuffer doc file. On first glance it seems to solve my problem (I 
haven't the time to check it right now).


Greetings
Peter

How precisely did you try?  Using env.sh as described in our 
quickstart

guide, this just worked for me first try.

What did you type in?  What errors did you see?

Thanks to your info I managed to build a "nsfb" program file and I can 
run it. But it immediatly exits with an error message:



Unable to open display
Error initialising wayland connection
Unable to initialise framebuffer


I run it from text terminal, not from X. I wonder why it tries to open 
a display (that seems to be X!) and why it tries to init a Wayland 
connection.


Any chance to get it to work on text console framebuffer? Maybe I need 
to install FB support in the kernel?
