Doesnt contain any of the deps, but if you've already got those on your system this should do just fine.

Thanks very much as it works! Now I need to find the latest version of QTWebkit that is stable and works with this version of Arora ! My current version is "libQtWebKit.so.4.5.3".

I have put it into a pet. I have fixed the .desktop file for puppy and added a link to "libQtWebKit.so.4.5.3" (My current installed version from a QT4 pet off the forums.).

I have been using Midori which was compiled for Puppy by Technosauraus. I really like the way it renders pages. Somehow, the webkit browsers seem to work better on my screen than the gheko(?) based ones. MUST give this a try.......................
I tried to build the latest Midori but ran into trouble with webkit. Sh*t its difficult

webkitgtk is MUCH easier to compile than the standard webkit(provided you have libsoup and use the glib unicode backend instead of ICU)

Was trying with webkitgtk but hit the buffers with this error http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=54692

Guess I need to come back when I have learned a LOT more

Isnt teamwork great.

I apologize for hijacking the thread temporarily... teaching oportunity
My guess is that when you compiled glib, you did not pass the --prefix=/usr flag to the configure script (the default is /usr/local) this can have 2 effects:
1. Your glibXXX.pc file is by default in /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig, so the old one gets picked up by the configure script instead
2. Your glib-config script goes to $PREFIX/bin so the old one gets used there too. (most likely scenario)
#this is due to its location in $PATH and $PKGCONFIG_PATH (spelling?)

to verify try: btw these are preferred paths PREFIX=/usr SYSCONF=/etc LOCALSTATE=/var

No worry's though - I can post my latest stable glib pet and its DEV.pet, just thought it may save some frustration later for other packages.

Can only speak for myself here, but I never mind thread hijacking if its for teaching. Its a great way to learn something unexpected while you read.

Technosaurus........ thanks. I need to digest your post and figure out what it means. I just did ./configure make make install, so I guess you are right.

Posted PET in a new thread here:

If anyone is debating making a puplet with arora as the default browser, there is a test browser included in Qt build that would make a decent "defaulthtmlviewer". I am doing the same thing for Midori + webkitgtk's GtkLauncher (only I modified the default home page from http://www.google.com to file:///usr/share/docs/home.htm)
