Hacking guide

The browser core is in the 'content', 'css,' 'desktop', 'render', and 'image' subdirectories of the project. I have avoided touching it (if possible) while porting the browser for SamyGO.

The GUI and frontend code is in the framebuffer subdirectory. Unfortunately, compared to the other NetSurf ports (see the 'gtk', 'amiga' or 'riscos' subdirs, for example) it's quite incomplete and missing lots of useful features. I have worked on implementing some of them, but a lot remains to be done (e.g. file downloads and bookmarks). A good starting point would be the empty functions at the bottom of fb_gui.c.

If you have anything useful, please make a patch towards the latest released source code version (see top of page) and send it to florianfischer at gmx.de.
