 +=== GIO-2.0 version ===
 +
 +If you're trying to build midori on an older system, when you run
 +<code>./waf configure</code>
 +you may get the following message:
 +
 +<code>
 +Checking for gio-2.0 >= 2.16.0    : Package gio-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
 +Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gio-2.0.pc'
 +to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
 +No package 'gio-2.0' found
 +</code>
 +
 +This may mean that you don't have libglib2.0-dev installed, or that the version you have is too old.
 +
 +On a Debian machine you can check the libglib2.0 version with:
 +
 +<code>
 +user@debian:~/midori-0.1.9$ dpkg -l | grep glib
 +ii  libglib2.0-0             2.12.4-2+etch1           The GLib library of C routines
 +ii  libglib2.0-data          2.12.4-2+etch1           Common files for GLib library
 +ii  libglib2.0-dev           2.12.4-2+etch1           Development files for the GLib library
 +</code>
 +
 +In this case, the libglib2.0 with etch is at 2.12.4-2+etch1, glib needs to be >= 2.16 (currently as of Sep 2009 it is at 2.20.1-2 on sqeeze.)
 +
 +=== Javascript Popup windows ===
 +
 +By default, Midori blocks all popup windows that openen on their own. With WebKitGTK+ 1.1.11 or higher, you can use a hidden setting to enable these windows.
 +
 +  - Quit Midori
 +  - Open the file ~/.config/midori/config
 +  - Add a line "javascript-can-open-windows-automatically=true"
 +
 +There is also a preference in the git version as of 2010-03-23.

 +
 +=== No video in HTML5 Video objects ===
 +
 +Webkit using gstreamer 0.10 as a video framework. So in order to make it work make sure that you have following gstreamer packages installed: 
 +
 +  - gstreamer0.10-alsa for alsa sound output or gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio for pulseaudio output
 +  - gstreamer0.10-plugins-good and gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg plugins
 +
 +=== Cant import bookmarks from firefox ===
 +
 +Currently midori doesnt import bookmarks from firefox. But there is a way to do this manually.
 +
 +  - Export your bookmarks from firefox into html file. (Bookmarks -> Manage bookmarks -> Import/Export -> Export into html)
 +  - Go to http://www.linkagogo.com/go/Convert
 +  - Select Netscape as "input format" and XBEL as "output format", select a file with your exported bookmarks and press "Convert"
 +  - Import file into midori. (Bookmarks -> Import bookmarks)
 +
 +=== Java doesn't work, applets don't show up ===
 +
 +Java is supported in WebKitGTK+ since 1.1.22. If you need Java, you need to upgrade to at least that version. Sun/ Oracle Java as well as IcedTea are known to work. Distribution specific setup might be required, such as setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include the location of libxul.so.
 +
 +=== Are SOCKS proxy servers supported? ===
 +
 +Currently only HTTP proxy servers are supported directly. A way to use SOCKS on Unix is to use tsocks with SSH as follows:
 +
 +  - Install 'tsocks'
 +  - Open /etc/tsocks.conf in an editor
 +  - Type something like this, you can choose the port freely: <code>
 +server = 127.0.0.1
 +server_type = 5
 +server_port = 5555</code>
 +  - Open an SSH connection with the same port: <code> ssh -D localhost:5555 myhost.com </code>
 +  - Run Midori with "tsocks" in front of it: <code> tsocks midori </code>
 +  - Now you can use for example http://www.whatsmyip.org/ to verify that you are using a SOCKS connection. The IP address should match the one of your SSH host. Remember to keep the SSH login running, and don't suspend it, otherwise it won't work.
 +  - If the connection fails for some reason, you should see a connection error.
