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.
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.
