This is already a work-in-progress; I've been working on a branch for 23.0-rc1 locally. There are a number of issues to fix.

BTW, note that the -lerl_interface issue is a rebar problem, not specifically a Yaws problem. It doesn't happen if you build Yaws using its automake build support. The -lerl_interface is built into the value of ERL_LDFLAGS in the rebar sources. Since rebar is deprecated, I believe this implies that 23.0 will require rebar3.

Commit c075071 builds successfully with automake-based builds under Erlang 23.0-rc1. There is one failing test due to a known issue with TLS 1.3 in rc1; presumably this will improve with the next release candidate. Builds with rebar do not work, though, as described in the previous comment.

@vinoski Thanks, one of these days I will try it out.

I suggest the README.md should be updated, because it can cause a lot of headache for people trying to build yaws. At least autotools should be the 1st suggestion instead of rebar.

@MarcellHarmaci I've updated README.md, thanks. For future reference, it's better to start a new issue for something like this rather than comment on a two-year-old closed issue.
