Introduction + + w3m is a pager with WWW capability. It IS a pager, but it can be +used as a text-mode WWW browser. + + The features of w3m are as follows: + +* When reading HTML document, you can follow links and view images + (using external image viewer). +* It has 'internet message mode', which determines the type of document + from header. If the Content-Type: field of the document is text/html, + that document is displayed as HTML document. +* You can change URL description like 'http://hogege.net' in plain text + into link to that URL. + +Current problems are: + +* Online manuals are poor. + +w3m is known to work on these platforms. + + SunOS 4.1.x + HP-UX 9.x, 10.x + Solaris 2.5.x, 2.6, 8, 9 + Linux 2.0.*/2.2.*/2.4.*/2.6.* + FreeBSD 2.2.8, 3.1, 3.2, 4.6 + NetBSD/macppc, m68k + EWS4800 Rel.12.2 Rev.A + Digital UNIX: v3.2D, v4.0D + IRIX 5.3, IRIX 6.5 + OS/2 with emx + Windows 9x/NT with Cygwin b20.1, 1.1.x, 1.3.x + MS-DOS with DJGPP and WATT32 packet driver + MacOS X Server + MacOS X 10.1, 10.2 + +2. Installation + +Follow these instructions to install w3m. + + - You need latest version of GC library (at least 6.1?). + You can get GC library from + http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Hans_Boehm/gc/gc_source/ + + Note: if you're using GC library 6.1, you should install gc.h + to PREFIX/include: + # cp gc-6.1/include/gc.h PREFIX/include + + - Run configure. + % ./configure + + - do make + % make + + - do make install + # make install + +MACHINE/OS specific notices: + +HP-UX + If you want to use HP C compiler, answer + + Input your favorite C-compiler. + (Default: cc) cc -Aa -D_HPUX_SOURCE + + If you use just 'cc' without options, you can't compile w3m. + If you are using gcc, no option is needed. + +OS/2 + You can compile w3m using emx. First you have to do + is to compile GC library with + + cd gc + make -f EMX_MAKEFILE + + then compile w3m.
