The version of konqueror embedded that I have (from the official source) dates from 2003. Is there a more recent version available? Or a decent alternative browser for Opie?

Opera with the sharp-compat-libs should work.

Konq/E is built upon Qt/E 2.3.x, and back when KDE was using Qt 2.x, it was fairly easy to support both the KDE and Qtopia/Opie versions from a single code base. However, KDE has moved on to newer versions of Qt and newer versions of Konqueror no longer compile against Qt/E 2.3.x. So while there have been bug fixes made to Konq/E, newer features have not been back ported to the older code base, and I don't see that happening any time soon.
So next you will probably ask why Opie still uses an ancient version of Qt/E? Well, TrollTech itself has admitted that Qt/E 3.x is not really suited to use in limited resource devices such as PDA's. And though Qt/E 4.0 is supposed to be much better, we are still waiting for a pre-release version which compiles/works. |

QUOTE(Mr. Sinister @ Apr 22 2005, 01:36 PM) But where can I get a modern konqueror? Here are the latest snapshots created by Luciano... now all you have to do is build it and they need Qt/E v3.1.x or above. The current OE/OZ build is using Qt/E v2.3.x and the latest snapshots are 2003. I'm guessing that if or when OE would use Qt/E v3.1.x or above they could use these... but I think I remember reading about another problem with that. Then there is the possibility that I'm wrong about the whole thing! http://www.cirulla.net/kdenox-snapshots/ Edit: In the time it took me to find that link drw has already explained it better than I could.
