Fwd: Netsurf Porting

Dear all,

A very good day to all of you.
We have read about Netsurf very recently.
Seems very interesting for us as we are looking into porting a rendering engine with HTML4 support to QNX 4.25 platform.

Here are our first level queries after our basic analysis:

1. First of all, a direct question. Is Netsurf supported in QNX 4.25?
2. We understood that NetSurf has different front ends like SDL, framebuffer, GTK etc. But haven't seen support for Photon GUI toolkit supported in QNX. We are quite confused on the framebuffer/SDL support in QNX 4.25.
We assume this toolkit may be used only by the browser part to get the user interface part. If so, can it be possible for us to only to port the rendering engine part to QNX 4.25 and use the Photon APIs in QNX for the front end part?
3. If query #2 is not a possible option, could you share your thoughts on porting Netsurf to such an OS like us where any of these front ends are not supported?

Looking forward to hear from you soon.
Thanking you in advance,
Lullaby
