Libraries for displaying web pages

SDL Development
#1

Hi all,
Does anyone know of any SDL libraries that can be used to display web pages?
I’d like to avoid using screen captures and adding all of the web-page
functionality myself (doable, but a pain in the neck, obviously). Any help
would be greatly appreciated - thanks in advance.

I believe Pango (and hence SDL_Pango) can do some basic HTML markup, but
that’s the closest thing I’ve seen to “display web page” in SDL.On Tue, Jun 08, 2010 at 07:39:47PM +0000, Chris Dickinson wrote:

Hi Chris,

I’ve used gtkmozembed in Linux with SDL before (see
http://www.mozilla.org/unix/gtk-embedding.html) and one can embed also
an IE browser on Win32 in the same way.

I can send you my old the Linux code if you like. Let me know.

Is there any reason the GTK route wouldn’t work on Windows?On Tue, Jun 8, 2010 at 10:23 PM, Andreas Schiffler wrote:

Another option is Origyn Web Browser. It has a port of Webkit to SDL,
and that would work on all platforms. Though I’m not sure if it will
work nicely as a widget.

I don’t think so.

But in my case it was not desired anyways, thus not researched. The app
needed to keep the final application size as small as possible and using
the IE Navigator2 COM object on windows directly forgoes the requirement
to include GTK binaries for the window executable (while on Linux GTK is
assumed to be installed).On 6/8/10 7:26 PM, Donny Viszneki wrote:
