[solved] vimprobable configuration

I downloaded a pkgbuild of vimprobable, made package, and upgraded with pacman. The browser works great and I'm loving it so far. However, I'm having no luck with configuring the browser from the config.h file. I've been trying to add some custom search engines and a start page to the config.h file to no avail. I've done a system scan for the config.h file which turned up 22 entries and I've modified each file to be the same and yet my custom additions haven't taken effect. Seeing as there's little documentation on this application I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction. I'd appreciate any help.

Thanks a lot-

d

Re: [solved] vimprobable configuration

did you recompile and reinstalled the package?
maybe you should first configure the program to your needs and test without installing.
when you found a proper config, install the binary via pacman and use as normal, otherwise start the binary with the path, e.g. if your code is in code/vimprobable use "~/code/vimprobable/bin/vimprobable" or what ever it is

Re: [solved] vimprobable configuration

I downloaded the PKGBUILD from http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=31710. I made a dir in my home directory .vimp. I placed the PKGBUILD in there. I ran makepkg from there and then used pacman -U <insert name of newly created tar.gz file here>. This installed the program and I can run it from wmii or xterm simply by typing vimprobable. Everything about the program works, including bookmarks. The only issue I can't resolve is modifying the config.h file. All modifications that have been made to it don't apply to the browser.

Re: [solved] vimprobable configuration

config.h is a C header file and needs to be edited before compiling. Check out the source, edit config.h, and run `make`.

Read man vimprobablerc or use the set: and map: commands (see the man vimprobable for more info)

Re: [solved] vimprobable configuration

Another possibility would be to try vimprobable2, which has some options available without recompiling.

Re: [solved] vimprobable configuration

It's been a really long time since I wrote this post. Initially, I was confused about compiling, but have since learned much about arch/linux. I suppose I should've marked this thread solved months ago.
