Framebuffer and static support?

[piranna]

Is it possible to use uzbl-core with a framebuffer graphic device? And is it possible to compile it in a single statically linked binary? I think its minimalist design is perfect to use it as local graphic environment for NodeOS... :-)

I don't think webkit itself supports being build statically. If you can get it to be static, I see no reason Uzbl itself couldn't. As for a framebuffer, Uzbl currently does some raw X calls, but if that could be predicated on the backend GTK is actually using, I don't see why it wouldn't work either (@keis is running on Wayland IIRC).

I was able to compile it statically for framebuffer using Qt on noGUI, don't know if it would be possible to do it with GTK...

Just an FYI, but Qt uses an old version of WebKit. WebKit2 is the Future™ and uses separate binaries for network and rendering logic, so you'll basically have at least 3 copies of WebKitGTK laying around…
