The iLiad already comes with minimo compiled. You can find it in /usr/lib/mozilla-minimo/.

Yes, it's under development.

There's this neat new feature in the forum called "Search"...

Sorry to everyone. I have seen the link you have sent to me...but, really, i need to compile minimo (or another html reader, if exists) to build a parallel application that make some different feature for me.
If i was needed minimo, i was using minimo!!! But i need to insert some modify...
I have seen DILLO also, but i can't find the porting source code to iliad...

Thank you

What custom work do you need to do that you need to compile minimo from scratch? iRex's version is very capable to display just about any html page.

If you need to change the interface, it can all be done by changing the files in the chrome directory.

I myself had tried to compile minimo from scratch, but never had any luck doing so. After finding out what iRex's version can do, I don't think there's a need anymore.

Custom work??
ie, the file that i need to display it's only one page formatted.... I need to show total number of page based on font size.
Another, it's to take a continuity when i change page and not divide the string of text...
Also, we like change from portrait to landscape and viceversa.
Here, the problem is that the file to show it's a book formatted in one page only!!!
so, my idea (with any browser i can build and modify) it was to open the html file, analyze it and then show the pages.
I would like open an html txt box full screen on the iliad!!

Thank you and sorry for my little english

What you are describing is an e-book reader application that reads single HTML files. FBReader already does everything listed above and it reads HTML files, and MobiPocket Reader will also do this if you are willing to convert the .html document to the .mobi format.

Are you starting from Adam's (version 0.7.4) iLiad-specific source? It is on the ILiad FBReader wiki page.

If you think your modifications should be incorporated into the standard FBReader version, then it may be best to start with the latest version (0.8.6c) on a Linux Desktop and once it is working there (a) submit the changes to the FBReader developers and (b) port to the iLiad.

Adam B. · 08-31-2007, 02:54 PM

If you post the specific errors you are getting, I can point you in the right direction...

I can't find source on that page...I'm so fool??

I have downloaded an fbreader-sources-0.8.6c from official website.
But, if someone (Adams, you are "someone"!!!

) knows where i can get sources "tested" to start compile, i'm very happy.
Then, after, i give Pizza for all here in my garden... (for Adam double portion)...
Thank you

ps

the error i get regard the bz2 lib, but i'm not sure that i'm compiling for ARM in this way...i'm sure only that i'm able and ready to compile and running ipdf on my enviroment)
