Of course -lX11 should be added to make scripts too

@romaxa - would you consider adding that code to your branch?
Yep, that make sense. I guess it also make sense to figure out some bug tracking system, probably simple is enough... also grant access to repository to people who willing to contribute...

So.. We will get new "SuperFox" (this combined with Firefox) to harmattan and maybe on Maemo too? :O

I have NFC if stock Qt in Harmattan has this patch backported from 4.8. However, flash should work OOTB, after all this is fennec without xul AIUI.

You have to use LD_LIBRARY_PATH. This is not Windows. In Unix/Linux, unless you explicitly add the current directory (".") to the PATH/LD_LIBRARY_PATH, it will *NOT* be searched.

And it's a good thing that it was designed like that.

Even if everything works perfectly from one platform to another, the import statements are enough to break everything.
Thank god QML was designed to be portable. QT has already become the new Java.

It was the "or" that I didn't like (cd _or_ use LD_LIBRARY PATH). Should have been an "and".

Windows implicitly adds "." when searching executables or libraries, and a lot of people expect that Linux will behave that way as well. Hence my comment.

Ah; didn't know that as I've never really done such a thing on Windows :o

I meant what you had implied but yeah the message can be confusing... Apologies for that...

Re: Qt based Fennec (Firefox) - IPCLiteAPI - Hell it's fast!
 
Nice work! Just a suggestion though, with the multitabs, they tend to take up a lot of space. So it would be good if they only appeared when you held down the menu button instead of being there all the time.

Morpog 2013-01-16 21:44
Re: Qt based Fennec (Firefox) - IPCLiteAPI - Hell it's fast!
 
You should know that I can't code at all, so this is just graphical artwork based on my ideas.

Oh and no, those tabs would not be showed all the time. Wait for the video where it's animated to see how it will work ;)

Neat :) Can't wait to see it on our N9's !

You should do sth for the "X" to close the tabs though. Make it more integrated. Other than that it's very good.

Did dev's say sth about putting your work inside the code ? Hope it will happen !

Morpog 2013-01-16 21:56
Re: Qt based Fennec (Firefox) - IPCLiteAPI - Hell it's fast!
 
Well, I just showed it 10 mins ago. Hopefully a coder picks the ideas up or contacts me to get the job done together.

Maybe the coders got even better ideas than I do, or just dislike mine :-)
Let's see what happens. But I will continue working on the concept, so hopefully I can get it done on weekend.

Re: Qt based Fennec (Firefox) - IPCLiteAPI - Hell it's fast!
 
I actually like implementation of current XUL Fennec tabs, which shows previews of each tab in the pane which you can pull from the side. I didn't see anything neater than that yet.

You can try building Mozilla with Mer SDK and see what needs fixing there (for example WebRTC doesn't build as of now). Try running the result on some actual device (some useful targets can be for example Nemo/N900, Nemo/N9 and PlasmaActive/Nexus7). Building IPCLite is a similar process (you can check it out from Romaxa's repo). Building/testing the whole thing with Qt5 would be also good.

sandy_locke 2013-01-16 23:42
Re: Qt based Fennec (Firefox) - IPCLiteAPI - Hell it's fast!
 
Previews on the side is certainly harder to implement imho, although I like it too. I'm curious to watch Morpog's video to see how the tabs appear. Alternatives are alway nice :)

@shmerl : wait, you mean one needs Nemo to have Qt based Firefox on N9 and N900 ?

Morpog 2013-01-16 23:45
Re: Qt based Fennec (Firefox) - IPCLiteAPI - Hell it's fast!
 
No, reread the thread, you can run QML Firefox now on your N9 with a very minimalistic UI.

shmerl 2013-01-16 23:48
Re: Qt based Fennec (Firefox) - IPCLiteAPI - Hell it's fast!
 
sandy_locke: Mer/Nemo or Mer/PA are just good environments to test stuff if you are building Mozilla tree with Qt, and Mer SDK is rather easy to set up and it's up to date tools wise and maintained by the community. It's also shared by all Mer based projects, so you don't need to adjust it too much for each target (most probably armv7hl build will work on both Nemo and PlasmaActive, though you can set up both targets in Mer SDK).

If you need to work with Harmattan or Fermantle - you can probably do that their way, but it's not necessary, unless you specifically want to build for them. (We are talking about building Mozilla tree itself, not about just writing the QML UI for embedlite).

sandy_locke 2013-01-16 23:54
Re: Qt based Fennec (Firefox) - IPCLiteAPI - Hell it's fast!
 
Ah ok, thanks. So a Mer build can be adjusted easily for Harmattan or Fremantle by tweaking some code ? Sorry but I'm fairly new with my freshly bought N9 and am just discovering all the possibilites, so I'm still not really sure what exactly is the link between Mer and Fremantle&Meego... for now I assume it's a fork taken back by a larger community to build Jolla and other OS's.

shmerl 2013-01-16 23:59
Re: Qt based Fennec (Firefox) - IPCLiteAPI - Hell it's fast!
 
The code presumably doesn't need tweaking. Or at least not supposed to. What you need to set up is mostly your build environment and your mozconfig.

For MerSDK - see https://wiki.mozilla.org/How_To_Buil...c_with_Mer_SDK
For Harmattan you need to use its own SDK: https://wiki.mozilla.org/How_To_Buil..._Harmattan_SDK

I think Harmattan SDK in general isn't maintained anymore (so don't expect tools upgrades there - it's in the frozen state). It's basically Nokia's legacy build system.

Mer SDK is updated regularly - Mer is not associated with Nokia, it's a community project. Jolla's Sailfish is based on Mer, so you will be able to use Mer SDK for it as well.

If you are a bit fuzzy about history, here is the short version:
Nokia had Maemo project, which they decided to merge with Intel's Mobiln. They created the Meego project. Meanwhile they released N9 with Harmattan OS, which isn't exactly Meego, but it's their Maemo in transition to Meego (in some intermediate state which is really closer to Maemo than to Meego). After that Nokia basically dropped the whole thing. Community forked some parts of Meego (not Harmattan - that's important), and created a Mer project which is a core distribution. Now other projects like Nemo (which also inherits Meego Handset subproject), Plasma Active and Sailfish use Mer as their base.

So on N9 you can either run Harmattan which Nokia ships with it, or you can install Mer based Nemo OS there. If you use the device only for development and testing, rather than everyday use - I'd recommend using Nemo, since you essentially train how to use Mer SDK and it'll be helpful for the upcoming Sailfish.

But if you use it as your primary device, Harmattan is still probably more useful.

Kozzi 2013-01-18 18:25
I really hope that instead of using tabs, this browser will implement N9's default browser style instead, this time with real time thumbnails instead of blank page while loading. Configurations will be added directly into system Settings and with first page similar to the one posted by Morpog but with swiping left to get bookmarks , i.e
1. Run browser
2. Top sites and history show upes
3. Swipe left to get to Bookmarks, right to go back to Top sites.

asked for desktop shorcut, so here is script for launching Fennec from shortcut:
Code:

cd /home/user/mozbuildhm
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./
if [ "$url" = "" ]; then url="http://www.google.ru/firefox"; fi
./qmlMozEmbedTest -url $url
Code:

Re: Qt based Fennec (Firefox) - IPCLiteAPI - Hell it's fast!
 
Tabs are good to have, but not in the manner of a desktop browser, rather like XUL Fennec tabs with preview.

By the way - bad news. Mozilla decided to kill XUL Fennec off, since they are too engrossed in Android:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=831236

Looks like IPC embedlite remains the only option for normal mobile Linux to use Gecko.

romaxa, are you still keeping XUL Fennec for Meego up to date?

No, I don't, currently I'm using mobile/android and b2g code in order to create embedding base for building meaningful Mozilla browser with native UI for other platforms.

Also xulrunner isn't a mobile only application. Desktop UI is still based on XUL.

shmerl 2013-01-20 19:59
Re: Qt based Fennec (Firefox) - IPCLiteAPI - Hell it's fast!
 
coderus: IPC embedlite is not affected by that decision. As well as XULrunner. It's only about closing XUL Fennec (mobile branch). It's the one you could compile with Qt for normal mobile Linux (not Android) like Harmattan, Nemo and Plasma Active. It's still bad, since it limits our options. But supporting it, with keeping UI up to date and in sync with Android Firefox is an enormous task and Mozilla is not interested in doing it at all.
