w3m: WWW wo Miru Tool version 0.5.3 Jan 15, 2011 (C) Copyright Akinori ITO Hironori SAKAMOTO Fumitoshi UKAI 1. 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, 10.3, 10.4 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. I heard that OS/2 console can't display color, you had better compile w3m without color capability. Windows To compile w3m on MS-Windows, you have to use Cygwin with development tools. Read README.cygwin for more details. 3.
