Lynx browser on OS X?
This is an old thread but since I came across it when I was trying to install Lynx, I thought I would share what I did.
I wanted to be able to install the latest version of Lynx and include SSL support. I had found a package that I could install with the latest version but it didn't include SSL support for some reason so I decided to try building Lynx from the source. From things I had read about doing this, it seemed that I would need to make sure that I could build the source against openssl and ncurses so instead of installing them on my machine (actually I think my new Mac has them both, I decided to do the following...) I. Download Source We require the source from three packages: ncurses: (Home Page) http://www.gnu.org/software/ncurses/ncurses.html (Download) ftp://invisible-island.net/ncurses openssl: (Home Page) http://www.openssl.org (Download) http://www.openssl.org/source/ lynx: (Home Page) http://lynx.isc.org/release/ (Latest Development Download) http://lynx.isc.org/current/ For these instructions I downloaded and used the following versions of the source: ncurses-5.5.tar.gz openssl-0.9.8b.tar.gz lynx2.8.6dev.18.tar.bz2 II. Setup Build Area and Extract Source cd ~ mkdir lynxbuild cd lynxbuild tar -xzf /path/to/ncurses-5.5.tar.gz tar -xzf /path/to/openssl-0.9.8b.tar.gz tar -xjf /path/to/lynx2.8.6dev.18.tar.bz2 III. Setup Temporary Install Area cd ~ mkdir tmpinstall IV. Build and Install nCurses to Temporary Install Area cd ~/lynxbuild/ncurses-5.5 ./configure --prefix=/Users/doug/tmpinstall --with-shared make make install V. Build and Install OpenSSL to Temporary Install Area cd ~/lynxbuild/openssl-0.9.8b ./config --prefix=/Users/doug/tmpinstall shared make make test make install VI. Build and Install Lynx to Temporary Install Area CPPFLAGS="-I/Users/doug/tmpinstall"; LIBS="-L/Users/doug/tmpinstall"; ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --with-ssl=/Users/doug/tmpinstall --with-screen=ncurses make make install Lynx is now installed at /usr/local/bin/lynx The lynx.cfg is installed in /usr/local/lib I hope that helps someone else |
