Dillo[1] is a very lightweight browser. I personally enjoy it because I feel it |
|
suits Window Maker[2] and it has Gemini and Gopher[3] plugins. |
|
|
|
As of writing this article, Dillo in Debian 12's repo is, I'm told I think, 10 |
|
years old. |

# Compiling Dillo |
|
|
|
An article on installing Dillo from the repo[4] |
|
|
|
Another article on installing/building Dillo from the repo[5] |
|
|
|
Make sure the Dillo from the repo isn't installed: |
|
|
|
``` |
|
sudo apt-get remove dillo |
|
``` |
|
|
|
Clone the repo and set as working directory: |
|
|
|
``` |
|
git clone https://github.com/dillo-browser/dillo |
|
cd dillo |
|
``` |
|
|
|
Install the dependencies (maybe more required, I can't recall, install as you |
|
find out what's missing): |
|
|
|
``` |
|
sudo apt-get update |
|
sudo apt-get install libfltk1.3-dev |
|
``` |
|
|
|
You may want to ensure you have OpenSSL 1.1 or 3, I think, for HTTPS. |
|
|
|
Now you can start the build process. I had an issue where Base64 encoded images |
|
didn't seem to work. The Dillo browser account on Fosstodon helped me with |
|
that[6], so that's why I'm trying the `--prefix` flag here (they also |
|
recommended that the `~/.dillo/dpidrc` file has the `dpi_dir` properly set to |
|
the *dpi directory* in the installation, otherwise it won't be able to find the |
|
builtin plugins). |
|
|
|
``` |
|
./autogen.sh |
|
./configure --prefix=/usr/local |
|
``` |
|
|
|
The summary from my `./configure` command looked something like this: |
|
|
|
``` |
|
Configuration summary: |
|
|
|
CXX : g++ |
|
CXXFLAGS: -g -O2 -Wall -W -Wno-unused-parameter -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions |
|
|
|
TLS enabled: yes |
|
TLS library: OpenSSL |
|
TLS flags : -lcrypto -lssl |
|
|
|
Cookies enabled: yes |
|
XEmbed enabled : yes |
|
RTFL enabled : no |
|
JPEG enabled : no |
|
PNG enabled : yes |
|
GIF enabled : yes |
|
|
|
HTML tests : no |
|
``` |
|
|
|
I should probably install one of the `libjpeg` packages I think. |
|
|
|
After you've ran configure or whatever pay attention to what is supported or |
|
not, such as libpng and the like... Now you can finally build: |
|
|
|
``` |
|
make |
|
sudo make install |
|
``` |
|
|
|
Try opening dillo: |
|
|
|
``` |
|
dillo https://www.someodd.zip/ |
|
``` |
|
|
|
Test loading a Base64 encoded GIF : |
|
|
|
``` |
|
dillo "data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODdhFAAXAPAAMf///wAAACwAAAAAFAAXAAACQISPqcvtD0… |
|
``` |
|
|
|
There's also a Dillo config file... |

# Gopher Plugin |
|
|
|
I like using the Gopher Protocol, just take a look at projects and posts about |
|
the Gopher Protocol I've made[7]. |
|
|
|
There's a Gopher Plugin that lets you browse the Gopher Protocol. I think its |
|
setup is pretty straightforward. |
|
|
