This fork aims at getting a usable version of NetSurf running under the GNUstep library. I will note that there is (I think) a working update of the old cocoa port, checkout github/mmuman's repos for this. However, this port requires CoreFoundation, and CoreGraphics dependencies. This port compiles with just basic GNUstep base, gui, and back libraries unlike the cocoa port.
To build, follow the instructions on the quickstart link below, replace netsurf in the generated workspace folder with this, and run make TARGET=gnustep.
With Rik theme, client side decorations and mac-style menu.
With standard theme.
Works pretty well, mostly in parity with the GTK port. Has tabs (including vertical), history, download management, bookmarks.
Tested and built on OpenBSD 6.8(macppc) + clang, and Ubuntu 20.10 + gcc.
Props to Sven Weidauer for the original cocoa port. Original copyright notice has been included in files consisting of large parts of his work.
This document should help point you at various useful bits of information.
Read the Quick Start document for instructions.
Look at the existing front ends for example implementations. The framebuffer front end is simplest and most self-contained. Also, you can contact the developers for help.
