PDF Viewer/HTML Viewer
« on: September 09, 2007, 12:54:36 AM »
I heard that devs are working on an PDF/HTML plugin, is this true. I got this info from anythingbutipod.com. If so, when do you think it will be implemented.

1) Do not ask when things will be done, it's always impossible to estimate
2) There is no official in-progress work on such a thing anyway.

GRaTT has a HTML viewer plugin, which can be found in the Rockbox tracker. FS#7117 IIRC.

What's missing? The links to the three different trackers are all there (all of them are Flyspray) and the link to search by flyspray number is there too...

Enter "7117" into the text box on the left hand side that says "Search"

There has been progress.

Download the rockbox source code and the patch file, and use the patch file to patch the source code, and compile Rockbox.  There's also unsupported builds that you could use, which have the patch already included.

Download the Rockbox source code - there's a link under "Current build" on the left.  Extract that to a directory, and run tools/rockboxdev.sh.  Type "all" and wait for it to finish.  Then do, 'mkdir build; cd build; ../tools/configure' and select 50, followed by "n".  Then type make, followed by make zip.  Optionally, you can use an unsupported build, which is precompiled.

It's not FS#7117 by the way. It's actually 7114. But it seems pretty useless from a non-developer standpoint at the moment.

You're correct - apparently I made a typo the first time, and never noticed it.
