## Vimprobable

Vimprobable is a lean web browser optimised for full keyboard control.
It has vim-like keybindings.

Vimprobable is being developped on Linux but it can be compiled on
FreeBSD too.

This is how I compiled it on FreeBSD 10.1.

## Dependencies

First we have to install the dependencies:

    
    
    pkg install libsoup webkit-gtk2 gmake
    

## Get the code

The code can be downloaded from sourceforge.

## Fix an error in /usr/include/sys/file.h

Unfortenately the compile will break on an unknown type error in
/usr/include/sys/file.h. The type u_int is unknown. This should be
fixed by including /usr/include/sys/types.h but this did not work.

I added the following line in the top of the file, just below the
copyright block.

    
    
    typedef unsigned int    u_int
    

After this, compiling vimprobable works like a charm.

## Compile vimprobable

Unpack the tarball that was downloaded from Sourceforge and run gmake
inside this directory.

That is it :)

Don't forget to create a directory .config/vimprobable in your home
directory.

Enjoy surfing with this awesome browser!
