Links Web Browser Working in DSLinux

[wraggster]

Our very good friend GPF has posted a screenshot of the Links Web Browser working in DS Linux, heres a screenshot:

Heres last nights newspost:

Hi, I finally made some progress with getting graphics enabled in links browser under dslinux and wanted to share it before I went to bed.

links -g -dither-images 1 -display-optimize 1 -html-image-scale 50 www.google.com

My port of gpm to dslinux still needs some work in libgpm, so the mouse isn't working yet. And there are alot of graphicaly problems with fonts, but the graphics show up great if they fit the screen size

Heres todays update:

I have made more progress this evening and have got the mouse working in links now, with some updates to libgpm

so far this seems to be the best way to start it
links -g -dither-images 1 -display-optimize 1 -html-image-scale 90 -menu-font-size 8 -aspect-on 1 -dither-letters 1 -html-user-font-size 8 www.google.com

It's working pretty good so far, still some problems with screen not refreshing and some font problems in the menus and occasionally in the screen.

The good thing is if you don't specifigy -g when starting links, it works as before except if GPM is running, you can use the text console mouse

Holy crap this is some really good news, I'm going to have to redownload DSLinux again...

Wait this probably uses the RAM in SC and M3 doesnt it

[G0nan]

I tried it and got "Graphics not enabled when compiling" msg. How do I fix?

[Junixx]

I can't even get it working, I installed DSlinux and got logged in, and I think i got the links browser on there...but could please explain how you got it to work?

[Tennisgy]

you must have the ram download package

[GPF]

this is a WIP, it hasn't been submitted yet. Hopefully I get some of the last issues worked out and then I will submitted patches to be added to the dslinux builds.

Ahh ok then....so then it does require a SC or M3 then?

the worst thing is that i am 13 years only and my parents wont let me buy new homebrew stuff.

[Bonic]

When did you buy homebrew? You download it!

Anyway, I'm ****ing pissed, can't ANYONE make a web browser WITHOUT DSLINIX?! I tried DS Linix(Yes, I made a MMD version for myself XD) it sucks..
