- 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.

- 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.
