Question

Konqueror for MS Windows

Asked by: mreuring

Has any1 found a build of Konqueror for MS windows?
I like to test on current browsers while at work, at home I've got a G4 to run Safari as a Konqueror test but at work I don't wanna bother a graphx designer to test how it would look in a konqueror based browser, so, has any1 been able to build one for MS windows?

Interesting question, and have little time this week; but checked this reference chart for Browser Compatibility that I've found helpful in designing and planning and do not see it included at all:
http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/reference/browser_chart/

In doing a general query, found some links that "may" imply Windows-based or at least IE based possibilities

http://www.apple.com/safari/ - Really only find applicability so far for Mac OS X on new release info.
Off to work, good luck on your query.

Admittedly a search on google at first glance hints at konqueror for windows, but that's only because it's the filemanager and internet browser for KDE and other x-windows variants in Linux...
There's the remote possiblity that, had I the time on hands, I could build my own binary using the sources from http://www.konqueror.org/ but, I'd rather find some1 with much more experience doing such things :)

I wish you good luck; I've searched the Microsoft site extensively, including the MSDN Library and got ZERO hits with Konqueror in broad-search as well as in exact query.  You may benefit by posting another question (if nothing results here) in the major Web Development versus Browser topic area or perhaps include a 'go to' link.  If this would entail doing code work, I'd be surprised to find any takers since that's tons of programming work.

 

by: astaecPosted on 2004-05-18 at 06:34:05ID: 11097948

I haven't given up on this (yet); still looking.  Went through the Safari Developer site but nothing new yet..still looking.  Was hopeful in this link the other day, but can't find the reference this morning.

Cool, you're still thinking about this :)
I just got on that site and I'll look through it. In the meantime I've been trying to get this to work: http://kde-cygwin.sourceforge.net/
Looks promising, even apart from the KDE desktop under windows. This already has some X-windows applications running in windows. I have to date not been able to get KDE to work though :(

Not within my area of expertise, I'm afraid.  I've sent this to an Expert better versed in this, but not sure if he'll be able to help here either.

I'm wondering if it could be wise to leave my last comment for the paq. It's an option that will likely become viable as time progresses.

 

by: astaecPosted on 2004-07-09 at 04:52:44ID: 11510641

PAQ is highly recommended, given the amount of work done here (research) and feel it would be a waste of all our efforts to delete this item.  This browser is out there and still in use.
Thanks,

To be honest I gave that sourceforge another try and got a running version of konqueror using Windows XP...
Quite cool, it has some issues yet to be honest, I'm still working on getting flash running and some backgrounds are not showing in my konqueror while they are working in Safari (Mac OS X) which is based on konqueror. But seems worth it for people to know that it can work and with more work most likely become better.

Happy you've gotten your points back and the item is PAQd.  Learned along the way (more than I can state).
