%general-entities; ]> $LastChangedBy$ $Date$ Links Links is a text and graphics mode WWW browser. It includes support for rendering tables and frames, features background downloads, can display colors and has many other features. In the text mode, Links cannot be configured to use UTF-8 encoding for the terminal output. This limitation renders Links useless as a text-based browser in UTF-8 locales. See general discussion of this type of issue in the section on the page. In the graphical mode, Links displays text correctly even in UTF-8 locales, if all characters exist in the built-in font used by Links. Form submission in UTF-8 locales is handled correctly when running in X11-based (but not framebuffer-based) graphical mode.

Now, as the root user: make install && install -v -d -m755 /usr/share/doc/links-&Links-version; && install -v -m644 doc/links_cal/* KEYS BRAILLE_HOWTO \ /usr/share/doc/links-&Links-version; CFLAGS="-O2 -Wno-sign-compare -Wno-pointer-sign": Disable printing of many warnings about mismatched signs in parameter passing and comparison operations during compilation. --enable-graphics: Add this switch if you want to use Links in graphics mode. You will either need to install the X Window System or enable frame buffer support in your kernel and install . ~/.links/* ~/.links/* Links stores its configuration in per-user files in the ~/.links directory. These files are created automatically when links is run for the first time. For the correct display of non-ASCII characters, Links has to be configured through the menu (accessible by pressing the ESC key), as follows: If running Links in the text mode, go to the Setup > Character set menu item and select the character set that matches your locale. Optionally, go to the Setup > Language menu and select the user interface language. Finally, select the Setup > Save options menu item.
