I recently installed the w3m package. When I tried to display the
help page by typing "H", I got only a blank page with this message
in the status line:
≪ ↑ ↓ Viewing No Line
I did some poking around, ran w3m with strace, and found that w3m
runs the script /usr/libexec/w3m/cgi-bin/w3mhelp.cgi to generate its
help page. When I ran that script alone, I got this message (on one
line):
Can't use 'defined(%hash)' (Maybe you should just omit the defined()?) at
/usr/libexec/w3m/cgi-bin/w3mhelp.cgi line 51.
I did that, as shown in this diff:
$ diff w3mhelp.cgi.orig w3mhelp.cgi
51,53c51
< if (defined(%funcdesc)) {
< $lang = $tlang;
< }
---
> $lang = $tlang;
>
Having done that, the "H" help function works fine. So, I have
a workaround for the problem, but I'd really like a proper fix, and
there may be other users with this problem.
I also recently installed w3m onto my Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS system and
the w3m help page displays fine there with no modification to that
file.
To see the problem:
1. At the bash prompt, execute
$ w3m -v
2. Type
H
The package appears to be installed properly:
$ cygcheck -c w3m
Cygwin Package Information
Package VersionStatus
w3m 0.5.3-3OK
The output of "cygcheck -s -v -r", sanitized, is attached.
