Getting ELinks up and running
|
||
|
|
-----------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Installing ELinks should be pretty easy on most systems. Below is described
|
||
|
|
the whole process of configuring the compilation, compiling and installing.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Building and Installing ELinks
|
||
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The quick guide for the impatient. Issue the following commands from the
|
||
|
|
ELinks source directory:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ ./configure && make && make install
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
However you might consider to tweek a few compile time options before building
|
||
|
|
ELinks. You might also want to take a look at what libraries and programs are
|
||
|
|
required or recommended that you install.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Requirements
|
||
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To succesfully install ELinks all that is required is GNU make and a C
|
||
|
|
compiler. If you want to install directly from CVS it is also required that
|
||
|
|
automake and autoconf is installed on your system.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Recommended Libraries and Programs
|
||
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To make use of many of ELinks features you will need to have some external
|
||
|
|
libraries and utility programs installed on your system. It is recommended to
|
||
|
|
have the following libraries and programs installed:
|
||
|
|
|

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When compiling, you also need the header files for the libraries. Most OS
|
||
|
|
distributors put a given library's headers in a package separate from the
|
||
|
|
library itself; this package usually has `-dev` or similar appended to its
|
||
|
|
name.
