About QupZilla
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
QupZilla is a new and very fast QtWebKit browser. It aims to be a lightweight web browser
|
|
available through all major platforms. This project has been originally started only
|
|
for educational purposes. But from its start, QupZilla has grown into a feature-rich browser.
|
|
|
|
QupZilla has all standard functions you expect from a web browser. It includes bookmarks,
|
|
history (both also in sidebar) and tabs. Above that, you can manage RSS feeds with an included
|
|
RSS reader, block ads with a builtin AdBlock plugin, block Flash content with Click2Flash
|
|
and edit the local CA Certificates database with an SSL Manager.
|
|
|
|
QupZilla's main aim is to be a very fast and very stable QtWebKit browser available to everyone.
|
|
There are already a lot of QtWebKit browsers available, but they are either bound to the KDE
|
|
environment (rekonq), are not actively developed or very unstable and miss important
|
|
features. But there is missing a multiplatform, modern and actively developed browser. QupZilla
|
|
is trying to fill this gap by providing a very stable browsing experience.
|
|
|
|
History
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The very first version of QupZilla has been released in Decemeber 2010 and it was written
|
|
in Python with PyQt4 bindings. After a few versions, QupZilla has been completely rewritten
|
|
in C++ with the Qt Framework. The Windows version of QupZilla was compiled using MingW, but due to
|
|
a huge problem with Flash, it is now compiled with Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler 2008.
|
|
First public release was 1.0.0-b4.
|
|
|
|
Compiling
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Before you start compiling, make sure that you have installed the Qt (>=4.7) development libraries
|
|
and you have read the [BUILDING](https://github.com/QupZilla/qupzilla/blob/master/BUILDING) information.
|
|
|
|
**Linux**
|
|
|
|
* OpenSSL (libcrypto) is required
|
|
* pkg-config is recommended (to correctly detect versions of QtWebKit)
|
|
* pkg-config is required for Hunspell spellcheck
|
|
* Hunspell development package for spellcheck
|
|
* QtWebKit 2.3 is needed to have support for spellcheck
|
|
|
|
**Windows**
|
|
* OpenSSL (libeay32) is required
|
|
* QtWebKit 2.3 is required
|
|
* Hunspell library is required for spellcheck
|
|
|
|
Then you can start compiling by running this commands:
|
|
|
|
$ qmake
|
|
$ make
|
|
|
|
After a successful compilation the executable binary can be found in the bin/ directory.
|
|
On Fedora and possibly other Linux distributions you need to replace `qmake` with `qmake-qt4` or `qmake-qt5` since `qmake` is for Qt3.
|
|
|
|
On Linux/Unix: To install QupZilla, run this command: (it may be necessary to run it as root)
|
|
|
|
$ make install
|
|
|
|
On Mac OS X: To deploy QupZilla in bundle, run this command:
|
|
|
|
$ ./scripts/macdeploy.sh full-path-to-macdeployqt
|
|
|
|
You need to specify path to `macdeployqt` only if it is not in PATH.
|
|
|
|
