Surfer is a web browser.

Surfer is part of the DeforaOS Project, found at https://www.defora.org/.

Surfer depends on the following components:

• Gtk+ 2.4 or newer, or Gtk+ 3.0 or newer
• DeforaOS libDesktop
• an implementation of make
• gettext (libintl) for translations
• DocBook-XSL for the manual pages
• GTK-Doc for the API documentation
• Either one of:
  • WebKit for Gtk+ 2
  • WebKit for Gtk+ 3
  • WebKit2 for Gtk+ 3

With these installed, the following command should be enough to compile and install Surfer on most systems:

$ make install

To install (or package) Surfer in a different location, use the PREFIX option as follows:

$ make PREFIX="/another/prefix" install

Surfer also supports DESTDIR, to be installed in a staging directory; for instance:

$ make DESTDIR="/staging/directory" PREFIX="/another/prefix" install

The compilation process supports a number of other options, such as OBJDIR for compilation outside of the source tree for instance.

On some systems, the Makefiles shipped may have to be re-generated accordingly. This can be performed with the DeforaOS configure tool.

Manual pages for each of the executables installed are available in the doc folder. They are written in the DocBook-XML format, and need libxslt and DocBook-XSL to be installed for conversion to the HTML or man file format.

DeforaOS Surfer is subject to the terms of the GPL license, version 3. Please see the COPYING file for more information.
