Compiling WPE Webkit for the RaspberryPi

Recently I became aware of a very nice project that makes it possible to run a complete fullscreen borderless hardware accelerated webbrowser on the Raspberry Pi.

(Cross)Compiling software for Raspbian in a chroot environment.

By using the Raspbian distro on the Raspberry PI (or any debian / main stream distro for that matter on any embedded device), most of the software packages that you would want to install are available within the package manager of the distribution.

Orbital Case – Titanium White is in!

Well during the website overhaul I did and their response was suprisingly, well…. Great! They […]
