Links

Links is a Lynx-like text and graphics WWW browser.

This fork cleans up a lot of legacy code but removes the graphics mode. If that mode was important to you then steer clear.

WARNING: This has been subtly broken for a while. It sometimes segfaults on unexpected pages in a way that is difficult to debug (it forces gdb to the background on segfault and fg just sends it back to the background). I still occasionally use it for reading mailing list archives but fixing it is not high priority. Patches are always welcome!

Requirements

In order to build links you need the following:

  • libevent
  • libssl

Installation

Edit config.mk to match your local setup (links is installed into the /usr/local namespace by default).

Afterwards enter the following command to build and install links (if necessary as root):

make clean install
