Are you going to do it then, Stephen ? Just for kicks I tried to
build it. I don't have motif, so I linked against lesstif. This builds
right out of the box. It loads a lot of pages allright, but it crashes too
often to be useful.
I am trying to build the gnome frontend now. This takes more
digging around. It is supposed to work with autoconf and some gnome
configuration scripts. But as supplied, and using the latest debian gnome
libraries, the configuration is broken. It claims not to be able to find
the libraries, but they are there.
Well, the build stopped because some variables were not set
correctly. This one may take a bit of work.
Also, you need to get the source via cvs, because the tar-ball on
the ftp site does not include the source for the gnome frontend.
I think it would be most efficient for someone who maintains gnome
apps to do this... but its kinda fun.
Good luck....
