Didier Spaier here, Wait! Actually its possible to build edbrowse on Slint, as Jude DaShiell did it. I jut remembered an email he sent me about that, that I forward below. For issues specific to Slint you could put the Slint mailing list in CC, if not yet registered: http://slint.fr/mailman/listinfo/slint_slint.fr PS Please write your name in the message when posing in blinux list, as it hides the name of the senders.
