Building NetSurf for AmigaOS 3.5+ (m68k-unknown-amigaos)
========================================================

Rough notes on how to build NetSurf for AmigaOS 3.5+. There may be an
easier way, but this works for me!

Building for AmigaOS 4.x (ppc-amigaos) is similar.

Toolchain
---------

Toolchain is built using something like this:

`git clone `[`git://git.netsurf-browser.org/toolchains.git`](git://git.netsurf-browser.org/toolchains.git)  
`cd ./toolchains/m68k-unknown-amigaos`  
`sudo make`  
`cd ../sdk`  
`sudo GCCSDK_INSTALL_CROSSBIN=/opt/netsurf/m68k-unknown-amigaos/cross/bin GCCSDK_INSTALL_ENV=/opt/netsurf/m68k-unknown-amigaos/env make`

Libraries
---------

Make/install buildsystem first!
Build in this approx order:
buildsystem, libnslog, libnspsl, libnsgif, libnsbmp, libwapcaplet, libparserutils, libhubbub, libdom, libcss, libsvgtiny, libnsutils, libutf8proc

Clone and build the libraries with:

`make HOST=m68k-unknown-amigaos PREFIX=/opt/netsurf/m68k-unknown-amigaos/env`  
`sudo make HOST=m68k-unknown-amigaos PREFIX=/opt/netsurf/m68k-unknown-amigaos/env install`

Finally build nsgenbind for the host, not for OS3.  It will install in /opt/netsurf/bin, add that to the path so make will find it later, or symlink /usr/bin/nsgenbind.

NetSurf
-------

Build NetSurf with

`make TARGET=amigaos3`

Building under Cygwin
=====================

Cygwin is a bit troublesome, as the toolchain setup is designed for
Debian 64-bit. Cygwin apparently works but there are two changes
required (I know nothing about these changes beyond what's here):

-   c-parse.in: I must replace two occurrences of YYLEX by yylex()
-   collect2.c: I must add 0666 as parameter of the open for
    redir\_handle.

There is a script to build NetSurf for AmigaOS3 under Cygwin here:
