For anyone who likes experimental software:
I put up a binary of mozilla built for X-Windows on Darwin.
link for download:
http://homepage.mac.com/nobodyloopba...eSharing1.html

be sure to read the readme file.

Good work! I'll put it through a test drive tonight and report back!

I have also done some more testing, main problem is: if I compile in support for SSL, If you klick on a submit-button or enter any ssl-pages, all your images will be made out of parts the mozilla logo.

So, if I dont find a solution soon, I will replace the current version with a non-ssl-enabled, which runs (from my point of view) perfect.

If on your Xfree86 those error dont appear, please tell me! thanks

wow! i've been trying to get a browser to compile for a few hours, and on a whim came over here to see if this board was still active (i haven't played with darwin for a few months). this is great! thanks a lot. i got one error starting up:

Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by C library

also, i couldn't use the "mozilla -selectprofile" command. I used "./run-mozilla.sh" i'll keep playing with it. thanks again.

Images in general are a little messed up for me. For example, on this page, all the images have parts of the top ad in them (bkind3 . It gets worse on SSL pages (soundforge). still, it's cool. thanls for the hard work.

This normal. Ignore it.

I get the scrambled image thing too, but primarily on SSL pages. No big deal. I can live with that. Good work!

Speed of mozilla on my 450G4:
rendering complex pages 2x times faster then Icab, about the same as internet-explorer.
rendering simple pages, slightly faster than Icab, about the same speed as explorer.

Regarding the broken images, has anybody an idea what could be the reason. since as I already found out, If I use my second mac running MacX as the X-Server all pages are rendered correctly, I am helpless.
Maybe I found a bug in Xfree86.
What is the difference between these two X-Servers ?
I even did set the Xfree86 colors to 256 so that is the same as MacX uses, I changed the window-manager to none and to a different one. Fixed some more error in the make-files of mozilla. made another build from scratch.
Also I made a debug-enabled build, but the messages I get surfing ssl and non-ssl pages are the same.

A fix for the corrupted images has been found:

Proclus mailed me the following:
Start mozilla with your current options but add --no-xshm to them.
No more garbled images while using ssl.

So now we have a fully functional browser for Darwin!

New Build:

- the startup problems are gone, so running /usr/local/mozilla --no-xshm should work (at least it does on my macintosh)

- if you have your gtk libraries somewhere else than in /sw/lib, make a symbolic link from the actual library to the mozilla directory.

happy surfing.

Looking good! This is great! Thanks a lot!
