elinks with gopher support | |

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 ;) |
