Links 2.30 -- How To Install
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
Follow this step-by-step:
|
|
0) Check you have installed the following libraries and are able to compile with
|
|
them. On a package-driven distribution, you will need both "library" and
|
|
"library-dev(el)":
|
|
|
|
Mandatory libraries
|
|
-------------------
|
|
libpng - required to compile links in graphics mode (not required in text
|
|
mode). Libpng 2.1.18 has a bug and must be patched by the patch
|
|
libpng-1.2.18.patch which is shipped with Links.
|
|
IJG libjpeg - if you want to display JPEG's (probably yes).
|
|
TIFF Library - if you want TIFFs.
|
|
SVGAlib - if you want Links to be able to display on SVGAlib.
|
|
OpenSSL and zlib - if you want SSL connections. zlib is not necessary if you
|
|
know the SSL is compiled without zlib.
|
|
|
|
Optional libraries
|
|
------------------
|
|
zlib - shows gzipped pages
|
|
libbz2 - shows bzipped content
|
|
lzma - shows content compressed with lzma
|
|
|
|
If any of the library is not present on the system or is unusably old and you cannot install it
|
|
(typically because you are not a root), then go to 11) Compiling with
|
|
user-supplied libraries.
|
|
1) Do not forget to run "ldconfig" if you have installed any new libraries :-)
|
|
2) "./configure --help"
|
|
Read the output and choose which options you want to give ./configure.
|
|
Probably you will want --enable-graphics
|
|
3) "./configure <your options>"
|
|
4) Check the output of ./configure (in the table at the end) whether you really
|
|
get what you want
|
|
5) "make"
|
|
6) If you are a root, "make install" with root privileges. If not, copy the
|
|
resulting "links" executable into some suitable place, preferrably within
|
|
your $PATH. The whole browser is just one executable.
|
|
7) If you haven't got a permanent Internet connection, save the "doc/"
|
|
subdirectory into some suitable place (/usr/share/, /usr/local/share). The
|
|
most important part is the "doc/links_cal/" subdirectory which contains a calibration pattern
|
|
(calibration.html in English, kalibrace.html in Czech)
|
|
you will need to get a flawless picture on your monitor.
|
|
8) If you want to supply a Links icon into your X Window System windowmanager,
|
|
you will find a suitable 48x48 icon in graphics/links.xpm
|
|
9) Delete the archive and source directory - no more needed
|
|
10) The browser is ready now. You just have to calibrate it to get a flawless
|
|
picture (see doc/calibration.html or the Links homepage, which is in default
|
|
bookmarks).
|
|
|
|
11) Compiling with user-supplied libraries.
|
|
This describes how to compile Links with user-supplied libraries zlib,
|
|
libpng, libpjpeg and libtiff. If you want to use any of these libraries from
|
|
the system, omit appropriate references. The versions are just for example:
|
|
|
|
Download libpng-1.2.3, zlib-1.1.4, libjpeg-6b and libtiff-v3.5.7
|
|
archives and unpack them. Build the libraries according to their
|
|
instructions to get static (*.a) library in each.
|
|
|
|
Please note libpng-1.2.18 is buggy and must be patched with
|
|
libpng-1.2.18.patch which is shipped with Links.
|
|
|
|
export CPPFLAGS="-I../zlib-1.1.4 -I../libpng-1.2.3 -I../jpeg-6b
|
|
-I../tiff-v3.5.7/libtiff"
|
|
export LDFLAGS="=L../zlib-1.1.4 -L../libpng-1.2.3 -L../jpeg-6b
|
|
-L ../tiff-v3.5.7/libtiff"
|
|
goto 2)
|
|
|
|
PITFALLS
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
Compile:
|
|
|
|
Unix - use ./configure; make
|
|
in some FreeBSD 3 distributions you have to set CFLAGS=-aout before
|
|
running ./configure
|
|
Tested on Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, IRIX
|
|
|
|
OS/2 - use ./configure; make
|
|
You must have GNU bash and GNU text/shell/file utilities so that
|
|
configure can run
|
|
The only supported compiler is EMX, you probably won't be able to
|
|
compile it with anything else
|
|
|
|
configure under OS/2 needs to know paths to gcc, make anb bash. Set (for
|
|
example):
|
|
SET HOSTTYPE=i586
|
|
SET MACHTYPE=i586-pc-os2
|
|
SET CONFIG_SHELL=d:/prg/gnu/bin/bash.exe
|
|
SET CC=d:/prg/emx/bin/gcc.exe
|
|
SET MAKE=d:/prg/emx/bin/make.exe
|
|
SET EMXOPT=-h100
|
|
|
|
Windows - you must have Cygwin or Interix environment
|
|
Otherwise, compile it just like on Unix
|
|
|
|
Install:
|
|
|
|
Unix - make install
|
|
|
|
OS/2 - copy file links.exe somewhere to your path or create CMD file that runs
|
|
links
|
|
|
|
WARNING: EMX has nasty limit of open files. Links will work badly or won't work
|
|
with default settings. Set variable EMXOPT=-h100 before you run links.
|
|
|
|
libpng-1.2.18 - "Error when loading compiled-in font: png_do_rgb_to_gray found
|
|
nongray pixel. libpng error: png_do_rgb_to_gray found nongray
|
|
pixel Abort." This is caused by a bug in libpng and
|
|
libpng-1.2.18.patch shipped with Links must be used to patch
|
|
libpng to fix the bug.
