Hi Standa!

And who will work on that?

It's always the same problem:

To make this application, I need this lib but for this lib, I need a good MiNTlib and for a good MiNTlib, I need a good kernel.

And at the end, nothing is done.


> pthread* necessary support, mmap* required changes. 

Reentrant MiNTlib's functions, virtual memory, etc...

Imho, Netsurf( which is a very good browser even without javascript) is the best solution because it's easy to port with the current MiNTlib/Kernel. All the needed lib are available on MiNT and the code is a pleasure to read.

No need to touch the kernel, no need to touch the MiNTlib, etc.. 

Ciao,
