Hi,
For testing latest changes to jhalfs, I am building a full blfs (systemd
[*]) book in a VM. I've ticked all the pages in the menu, shuffled the
"configuration" file obtained, then launched ./gen_pkg_book.sh. So the build
order is supposed to respect dependency order, but otherwise is random. It
so happened that my build order is:
X libraries ... imlib2 ... w3m, before gdk-pixbuf/gtk.
So w3m wants to use imlib2 for displaying images, and imlib2 links to X
libraries. But -lX11 is not passed to the linker (it is the same problem as
that fixed by one of the seds for w3m, but that sed fixes only gtk2 image
loader), so the build fails...
I think one sed could do (but I have not tested it with gtk+-2):
sed '/IMGX11LDFLAGS=/s/`"/` -lX11"/' -i configure
it would replace the one for gtk2, and add -lX11 to all the libraries using
Xlib. The build passes and basic functionalities are there. I'm not able to
display images in console mode, but it may be a VM problem, not imlib2/w3m.
Another possibility is to get rid of w3m, which is:
- old (no update since 2011)
- unable to display www.linuxfromscratch.org correctly (some characters are
displayed as question marks; maybe we are missing a switch)
- having more and more issues with recent toolchains/toolkits
We have two other text browsers in the book.
I do not have a problem with archiving w3m. Currently the following pages
reference it, all optional: gegl, mutt, PAM, docbook-utils, xmlto, xorg-libs,
xdg-utils.
We would need to change the references there to external. The package that is
most problematic is PAM. w3m is the only internal package we have to
optionally regenerate documentation. The alternative is elinks which is also
external, but we can probably live with that.
I've been able to regenerate the PAM doc with lynx instead of w3m: it needs a
sed to configure:
sed -e 's/dummy links/dummy lynx/' \
-e 's/-no-numbering -no-references/-force-html -stdin/' \
-i configure
Better:
sed -e 's/dummy links/dummy lynx/' \
-e 's/-no-numbering -no-references/-force-html -nonumbers -stdin/' \
-i configure
then remove the -no-regenerate-documentation switch from configure invocation.
and the doc is regenerated (provided you have xsltproc, libxml2, docbook, and
lynx).
Add fop for pdf generation, of course.
Should we add this sed to the book, add lynx to optional (and make w3m
external and remove elinks)? configure's logic with the sed is to use w3m if
available, then lynx if available. links/elinks is not tested anymore.
Sounds like a good plan to me. Please go ahead.
