Note that if you obtained the sources directly from GIT, you NEED to run
./autogen.sh! (It should be enough to do it once - however, if you have build
problems, try running this first.) Also, you obviously need GNU make and
autoconf installed on your system (for the supported versions of autoconf,
see AC_PREREQ in configure.ac). Otherwise, you have to use the nightly GIT
snapshot - you don't need to do this there.

Unix - just doing:
$ ./autogen.sh

$ meson compile -C build
should be enough. However, in some FreeBSD 3 distributions you have to
set CFLAGS=-aout before running ./configure. Also, you may want to
adjust some (well, plenty of) compile-time options through ./configure
- do ./configure --help and it'll print out a list of them. You can
finetune what's going to be included in the binary in the features.conf
file, and some really detailed tuning can be performed in src/setup.h.
should be enough.
Also, a nice idea is to compile ELinks outside of the source tree (note
that this might not quite work right now, but we're working on fixing
it). Make another directory and run path_to_source_tree/configure from
it. Typically, it looks like:
$ mkdir ../elinks-build
$ cd ../elinks-build
$ ../elinks/configure
$ make

The only supported compiler is EMX, you probably won't be able to
compile it with anything else.

As a semi-solution to this problem, GNUTLS support was introduced; if you want
to distribute ELinks executables with HTTPS support, compile ELinks with the

-Dgnutls=true meson option (assuming that you have GNUTLS 1.2.0 installed;
we can't say about later versions since GNUTLS people seem to have strange taste
