Open webOS uses a version of QtWebKit to render web pages and applications. Code-named, "Isis-Project", it uses a client-server model that separates the rendering process from the user interface. This architectural approach delivers smooth scrolling and a responsive user experience. The Isis Browser uses the highly portable QT framework with the goal of delivering a cross-platform browser in the future.

Below are the tools and libraries (and their minimum versions) required to build the Isis Browser. These build instructions were tested using Ubuntu 10.04 and Ubuntu 11.10 64 bit.

• g++

• cmake

• libglib2.0-dev

• gperf

• bison

• libsqlite3-dev

• libssl-dev

• libxi-dev

• libxrandr-dev

• libxfixes-dev

• libxcursor-dev

• libfreetype6-dev

• libxinerama-dev

• git-core

• curl

• libgl1-mesa-dev

• libgstreamer0.10-dev

• libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev

• flex

• libicu-dev

  sudo apt-get install g++ cmake libglib2.0-dev gperf bison libsqlite3-dev libssl-dev libxi-dev libxrandr-dev libxfixes-dev libxcursor-dev libfreetype6-dev libxinerama-dev git-core curl libgl1-mesa-dev libgstreamer0.10-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev flex libicu-dev

Check out and run the build scripts from Github.

cd $HOME
mkdir isis
cd ./isis
git clone https://github.com/isis-project/isis-project.git
cd isis-project
./build.sh 

If the BrowserServer build is failing with the following error : BrowserServer/Src/BrowserPage.h:42:23: fatal error: pbnjson.hpp: No such file or directory

in the isis-project folder ('$HOME/isis/isis-project') run the command, ./build.sh -t pbnjson followed by ./build.sh

cd $HOME/isis/isis-project
./run.sh

cd $HOME/isis/isis-project
./run.sh -b false

# in a separate terminal
cd $HOME/isis/isis-project
./browserserver.sh
