Slight error in makefile #1

Closed midnqp closed 3 years ago

midnqp commented 3 years ago 
$ make
Makefile:1: *** missing separator.  Stop.

You'll have to use BSD Make on non BSD platforms. On Debian this is in the "bmake" package. The alternative is changing the Makefile to GNU style, or even using something like CMake (although that's a larger scope of work).

I realized that just using bmake is not enough to get this working as it relies on some specific BSD string functions like vasprintf. These are typically provided by libbsd but getting this integrated into the build system is looking like a bit of work. I'll keep this issue open until it can be fixed.

Didn't want to create another issue -- just a question: Wikipedia said w3m has "partial" Javascript support? So, how did you implement JS?

Okay, how do I integrate libbsd to build system? What should I do?

I've got past the libbsd issue for now. The new issue is libtls which is a part of OpenBSD's LibreSSL but not usually available on Linux distributions. I am trying to work around that for now.

Also as far as I can tell w3m does not have support for any Javascript, although there is a patch to enable some support.

As of 9a6900b104356ce7d21c96a3ae5a66a46c960972 you should now be able to build this on Linux based operating systems using CMake. I did some basic testing and it appears to mostly work.

CMake has this issue now: -- No package 'bdw-gc' found And make says: Makefile:1: *** missing separator. Stop.

You need to install the Boehm GC. Under Debian/Ubuntu it's install-able with "sudo apt-get install libgc-dev". I'm not sure about other distributions.

Great it compiles to executable. But, w3s is stuck at "Opening socket..."

Can you tell me your OS and version you're using. I can try to investigate.
