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 information.
|
||
|
||
**Linux**
|
||
|
||
* pkg-config is optional (to correctly detect versions of QtWebKit)
|
||
* pkg-config is required for Hunspell spellcheck
|
||
* Hunspell developer package for spellcheck
|
||
|
||
**Windows**
|
||
* 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 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.
|
||
|
||
If you see errors like
|
||
```
|
||
webview/webpage.cpp: error: no ‘void WebPage::appCacheQuotaExceeded(QWebSecurityOrigin*, quint64)’ member function declared in class ‘WebPage’
|
||
webview/webpage.cpp: error: no ‘void WebPage::featurePermissionRequested(QWebFrame*, const QWebPage::Feature&)’ member function declared in class ‘WebPage’
|
||
```
|
||
run `qmake -r DEFINES+=USE_QTWEBKIT_2_2 && make` to fix it.

||
