Even though I love lynx, links2 and w3m, elinks is by far the text |
|
browser I use the most. I love its keybindings which make it a blas |
|
to use, I love its tab support, bookmarks, layout and so on and so |
|
forth... |
|
|
|
There was this one little thing I disliked about elinks. I copy fro |
|
their manual: |
|
|
|
2.7.21. Gopher Protocol Support (CONFIG_GOPHER) |
|
|
|
Default: disabled |
|
|
|
This means that even though the gopher protocol is supported by |
|
elinks, it is disabled by default. |
|
|
|
Well, in debian, elinks is built using the defaults. So in my local |
|
installation elinks had to call lynx to take care of gopher links. |
|
However on sdf-eu elinks is built with gopher support. So, I decide |
|
to compile it myself this time. |
|
|
|
It is really easy to do, the only thing I had to do is configuring |
|
it from the start to enable gopher. Thus: |
|
|
|
./configure --enable-gopher |
|
make |
|
make install |
|
|
|
Now I can enjoy gopher without switching browsers. Mr.Frood should |
|
really proud of me ;) |
