[PATCH] makefiles: support building shared libs on Darwin

On Darwin (macOS), the flags needed to create a shared
library are different. Moreover, the extension is .dylib
and the version portion of the soname is inserted between
the library name and the libext, e.g. lifoo.1.2.3.dylib.

The toolchain. The first one is built with the new one and the second
one with the old.

The numbers will be muddled, as with any list of files the file names
are the sequence, and the number is a minor part of the filename. It
seems that the naming convention before the number has changed. There
even seem to be two 5433 files -

https://ci.netsurf-browser.org/builds/riscos/NetSurf-arm-riscos-gnueabi-gcc-5433.zip

https://ci.netsurf-browser.org/builds/riscos/NetSurf-arm-unknown-riscos-gcc-5433.zip

I have no idea what the difference is!

The new toolchain version I downloaded has nothing on the icon bar menu
to distiguish it from the other flavour.

Using the link within the above topics link thus

https://ci.netsurf-browser.org/builds/riscos/?C=M;O=D

I see the list of builds but as folk have noticed, the number order is
muddled.

Perhaps the announcement by Michael Drake about a new toolchain
(https://www.riscosopen.org/forum/forums/1/topics/17766) is the
explanation.

Using Frank de Bruijn's latest version of Fetch_NS (2.50 17-03-2023)
allows the user to select those versions built with the new toolchain by
setting "Set Fetch_NS$NewToolchain 1" (without the quotes) in the settings
file.

Yes but 5415 to 5433 are, as a block, at the top. That leaves 5433 in the
middle of the whole list.

Interesting...
On the list as displayed here by Netsurf, from the above noted URL, 5433
is 30 items down the list, not at the top.

I use https://ci.netsurf-browser.org/builds/riscos/ and that goes as far
as 5414. I've just noticed that 5415 to 5433 are hidden away in clear
sight at the top of the list. I'd never thought of looking there.

[gccsdk] Hatari (vfp) 2.3.1-1 on riscos.info audio thread fails to initialise

To whom it may concern,

Theo Markettos suggested I post a bug report here with regard to the
hatari (vfp) 2.3.1-1 package on riscos.info.

It started with The Bard's Tale (TBT). That game consumed an Atari ST and
months of my life many decades ago. So when I discovered the build of
Hatari (vfp) 2.3.1-1 available on riscos.info, in a fit of nostalgia I
attempted to play TBT with it. However, it does not play audio. Music (of
sorts) is an integral part of TBT gameplay. The fault appears to lie
within the linked-in (customised?) build of the SDL library. Hatari's
audio thread failed to initialise. I didn't dig deeper into the binary to
try to figure out why. I was able to rebuild Hatari 2.3.1 from source
without too much trouble. I then found that audio worked as expected. So
if a customised version of SDL was indeed used, I suggest that the hatari
package on riscos.info be rebuilt and tested using the default GCCSDK
packages. I have no idea whose very-low-priority job that would be. It is
likely I'm the only person who cared, and I don't any more because my own
build works well enough. If it is nobody's job, then I'd consider making
it my job if someone could outline how I'd make it my job... if someone
cares.

Christopher Martin

It controls where the URL database is stored, ie history etc. It does
not do what you want.

We should probably provide a way to define more than one home page in
preferences to open multiple windows/tabs, but this may end up being
front-end specific rather than in the core.

Can the gtk version accept multiple urls on the commandline?.

The man pages shows "netsurf [options] [url]" (i.e., a single url) &
issuing "netsurf-gtk www.yahoo.com www.google.com" starts with a single
tab (yahoo).

It depends on the frontend in use. I know the Gtk front end does, and I
know the RISC OS one does not. As for the others, I am uncertain.

Portability patches to libcss libdom libutf8proc netsurf

Hello, as communicated on IRC, these attached patches replace
instances of int with int32_t where necessary to compile on platforms
where int32_t is actually long, alongside using the portable format
macros (e.g. PRIx32 where x or lx can't be hardcoded).
Tested by compiling on gcc 13.
Hope this helps, and let me know if I left any of my porting patches
in there instead of just correctness changes!
