Links on PSP?

[xI]

I've been looking for a browser for 1.5, but haven't found anything that I like. I thought about making one myself, but I doubt I'd be able to do it all. I gave up on that idea.

Then I thought about Firefox. And instantly knew that would be a failure; it would probably use too much memory.
But what about Links? Without looking at the source, I'd say it would be easier than Firefox or any other browser, because it's text-only...

Before I waste hours trying to port it unsucessfully, maybe someone who knows more about this (basically anyone) could tell me if it's even possible.

Perhaps. A quick glance at links dependencies shows that it *can* be linked against SDL for *some* reason.

IF that reason (and logic would dictate that it could be) was for a presentation layer, and IF the necessary bits used by links were also included by the PSP SDL implementation, then I don't see why not.

Else, I don't know. I'll take a look at it in the next few days. I'm currently writing a simple game to get adjusted to the nuances of PSP dev.

I think for a basic (VERY basic) text-only browser, I'd just need to use html.c, html_r.c, and html_tbl.c. I might be able to get something to display a simple HTML page. I'm guessing that would be the hardest part...
I'm going to try this, and if it doesn't work, I could always try again...

Don't you mean Lynx? Not Links?

And I'm pretty sure that's already been ported in some form or another, if my memory serves me correctly.

No.

Lynx is a browser that is version 2.x.y

Links is a browser that is version 0.9x.y

They are two (very?) different browsers.

There's an Atari Lynx emulator for PSP, but no Lynx browser that I know of.

Anyway, I've been messing with it, taking out any lines that have errors, just to try to get it to make. I don't care if it works yet. Make lists so many warnings and errors it fills Konsole so much I can't scroll back to the beginning...
