PKG - Lynx

[VehementHam]

When I visit text-based websites, I use terminal browsers, because the terminal has better colors, I can use the keyboard, and it does not hurt my eyes. Because terminal browsers are minimal for the most part, I am wondering if it would be viable to package a termnal browser.

Try packaging lynx or links..

[VehementHam]

Not Lynx. I am pretty sure that it has C++ in it.

[VehementHam]

I will look for something better than links.

[VehementHam]

Nevermind. Lynx does not have C++ in it. Github's lang detection screwed me over.

[sewnie]

So.. gonna package it?

[VehementHam]

I'll see what I can do. Seems pretty viable.

[VehementHam]

How do I do this? Can I get an explanation of how to work with this package management system? I did not see one in the wiki.

My understanding right now is that the package needs to be compilable with cproc, and the necessary patches need to be provided for it to run and compile properly. I don't know what the Lua stuff is for.

The Lua stuff generates the ninja files. Sorry, there's no documentation, you'll just have to read the code (ninja.lua). It's not too long. If you do and want to write some documentation, I'd be happy to review it.

[VehementHam]

What about the static linking. Is there anything I have to do differently for that?

[VehementHam]

The Lua stuff generates the ninja files. Sorry, there's no documentation, you'll just have to read the code ('ninja.lua').

How does the ninja.lua relate to gen.luas?

How does the ninja.lua relate to gen.luas?

ninja.lua defines the functions used by the gen.lua files to generate the .ninja files.
