Re: Browser on GtkFB

[Liz Mathew <lizmathew04 gmail com>]

Hi Florian,

Thanks for your response. 

We have been exploring a different path to progress yesterday. We
considered the option of using Nano X (www.microwindows.org). I would
like to know if GTK (preferably version 2.0 or above) can run on this.
Will I be able to compile and run GTK applications on this? Which is
the recommended browser for this set up? I saw a Dillo patch for GTK2
available. Will that work fine. We need to crunch all of these into
6-7 MB memory.

I saw the Nano GTK port available, but it is GTK version 1.2. Does any
body know if the source for Nano GTK is available?

Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Liz
