Did you built dynamic shared objects or static libraries?
Do the jpg-/png-libraries work with other programs? I have built
jpeg amd zlib statically. Maybe this helps?

SSL is not required for Dillo to work. In case you want it: just
download openssl-0.9.7e from http://www.openssl.org/.

It should install out of the box, yes. But see my notes about
dns.c in the other posting.

How do I get XFS for Irix5.3? :)

Same here.

Same here, using Irix-ld.

gmake 3.80. But 3.79 should do as well.

Same here.

You should try a newer release. Nothing before pth-2.0.2.
(pth-2.0.1 doesn't work at all, BTW)

Maybe another note, before everybody is disappointed: Dillo is
certainly not the solution to all your browser problems at the
moment. It's a nice project and I hope it will be a usable
browser in the future, but at the moment it is not. Without
Java Script and Frames you might have more problems as with
Netscape 4.08, and with my Dillo-version I can't even download
files...

But it's fast! :)
