mozembed & windows

[Keisial]

What's the status of mozembed on Windows?
Preferably for php-gtk2, but staying at the beta could be acceptable for
the time being.

Elizabeth mentioned it a year ago as "other thing I need to work on",
but seems stale.
There're some texts on the web talking about mozembed on windows, but
being "too big"
and other vague references. No download, no steps to get it.

I'd happily help on having it working, but i don't have experience with
the source of gtk,
php nor firefox. Plus they all have complex compiling methods and
opening new paths
is not easy when you are not used to the base.

Thanks for your attention

Right now gtkmozembed itself is in the middle of a code rewrite - it's
highly unstable, untested, and does X11 specific things that break on
windows - so I haven't bothered with the effort of getting it to
compile, since in the end it would be broken anyway.  I'll come back to
it when the current branch of the new api on the mozilla end is merged
into the mozilla trunk.

Here's some information on the subject if you're interested.

For now gtkhtml is a much better solution if you need html in a php-gtk2
app.

Thanks,
Elizabeth

Thats dont sound good :-( Whats about an WebKit binding (http://live.gnome.org/WebKitGtk)
I dont know, what the state of WebKitGtk is, but maybe its an alternative to mozembed.

Looks that there are already bindings for some langauges

Python bindings http://live.gnome.org/PyWebKitGtk
Vala bindings http://live.gnome.org/Vala
Perl bindings http://search.cpan.org/dist/Gtk2-WebKit/ 

Is it possible to get also a binding for php-gtk2?

There are php-gtk2 gtkhtml binding available that do work.   This is an
entirely volunteer project, so if you want you're welcome to create an
extension for it, we simply don't have the manpower.

Thanks,
