    <para>
      <command>patch -p1 &lt; ../w3m-&w3m-version;-bdwgc72-1.patch</command>:
      This patch fixes compiling w3m with GC-7.2 installed.
    </para>

    <para><command>sed -i 's/file_handle/file_foo/' istream.{c,h}</command>:
    This sed renames the file_handle function to avoid a clash with a glibc
    function that has the same name, defined in
    /usr/include/bits/fcntl.h.</para>

    <para><command>sed -i 's#gdk-pixbuf-xlib-2.0#&amp; x11#'
    configure</command>: This sed fixes compiling <application>w3m</application>
    using <xref linkend="gdk-pixbuf"/> as its image library. It has no impact if
    <xref linkend="gdk-pixbuf"/> is not installed.</para>

    <para>
      <parameter>--with-imagelib=imlib2</parameter>: This switch sets
      <xref linkend="imlib2"/> as the default image loading library. Remove it
      if you don't need image loading capabilities or you don't want to
      install X11. Note that build will fail if Xorg Libraries are present
      and this switch is not used.
    </para>

    <para>
      <parameter>--with-imagelib=gdk-pixbuf</parameter>: Use this switch if you
      want to use <xref linkend="gdk-pixbuf"/> as the image loading library.
    </para>

    <para>
      <command>sed -i "s:lImlib2:&amp; -lX11:" Makefile</command>: This sed
      fixes building when using <xref linkend="imlib2"/> as the image
      loading library.
