I haven't used Minimo in the past, so maybe it's always had this functionality, but looking at the screenshots for 0.013 (WM version), it appears to support AJAX - one of the screenshots has it using Google Maps.

I have yet to find a decent browser for the Zaurus that supports AJAX, so I'm rather interested in getting my hands on this.

it woud be terrific if it has been improved.  I very much wanted to like it over a year ago, but it couldn't hold a candle to firefox for power or dillo for speed, then

That appears to be just binaries for the CE version, the Zip file is just another flavour odf the binary distribution not the source.

You're right, I've been searching all over the place for sources last few days. Look here (http://www.mozilla.org/projects/minimo/build.html) for more info on retrieving source code.

Haven't had the time to build it unfortunately. I will give it a try although.

I will update this posting with all the quirks of the build process that I find along the way.

Here they are so far...

1. The instructions suggest aren't specific about what branch to pull. Pull the 'browser' branch before you continue with the instructions.

2. uconv will fail to build unless you do this...

cd mozilla/intl/uconv
ln -s native ucvnative

3. Fails to link because some make file somewhere doesn't list Xft. Dirty hack is to add -lXft to XLIBS= in config/autoconf.mk

anyway at that point I tried to run the minimo binary on my Gentoo Linux box and it segfaulted, I didn't actually install it but I would have expected a different message if it was a problem locating a library. I'm NOT going to install it since there doesn't seem to be an uninstall option in the make system.

I then tried to build it on an i386 OpenBSD virtual machine and it failed early on because it had some dependencies to some Linux flavoured elf.h headers.

bah!
