Mini-Mozilla for PPC - download a sneak peak!!

Colin Dunstan · 03-02-2005, 10:05 PM

I found these GREAT news in the Netscape Mozilla newsgroup posted by Lead-Mini-Mozilla-developer Doug Turner:

[...]You can download a sneak peak at this build here. Keep in mind, it is basically the second build that I made that actually rendered a page successfully. When you check it out, remember I told you: Lots of work to do; Lots of work to do.

[...]I have written up some notes on how to go about building this stuff. I don't claim the notes are perfect, but they are a start. Ideally, the notes will turn into a "how to build for windows ce" webpage. If someone wants to help on this, please let me know. The notes are here.

[...]If you find bugs, please write them up in bugzilla. For the Operating System, just simply select other. We are working on adding a Windows CE option.

[...]There are a few loose ends such as XPTCall, build and config changes, https, and code reviews. Most of these items have people working on them. If you are interested in any, please let me know. The tracking bug for all things windows ce related is here.

[...]Currently, I am building against the Pocket PC 2003 SDK. We may want to adjust this at some point, but I thought it would be acceptable place to start. The binary is 3.8MB compressed not including security. To run the build I have, you need about 5mb of memory to display www.google.com (this is a pretty soft number. I need a better tool to determine exact rss usage -- if you have a tool in mind, please let me know)

[...]Another thing you will notice is the UI for the application is terrible. I really need your input and windows ce coding skills here. If you want to take a look at the current code for the application, it is here.

Excellent news! I might have to try it out (after a full backup, of course

)
