Software requirements


Installing the base packages

If there is an older version of w3m already installed, you should delete the old version. Installing a new version over an old version is not recommended.

Following files are the base packages:

To install them:

cd \
unzip w3m-0.2.1-common
unzip w3m-0.2.1-en
(or w3m-0.2.1-ja)
unzip w3m-0.2.1-doc

All the extracted files will be installed in the /usr/local subdirectory or in subdirectories thereof.

Add X:\usr\local\bin (insert the correct drive letter) to your PATH, and set the following environment variables (insert the correct drive letter):

Above set statements can be in your config.sys.

Finally, copy this document which is you are reading now and its relations into /usr/local/doc/w3m directory.

copy README.os2.html \usr\local\doc\w3m\
xcopy doc \usr\local\doc\w3m\doc-os2\

Setting up the terminfo database

This version of the w3m uses the termifno database.

If you have not installed the ncurses or any programs that use it, unpack ncurses-term-0.5.2.zip to your home directory:

unzip ncurses-term-0.5.2 -d%HOME%

If you want to install the terminfo database to another directory, you must set the TERMINFO_DIRS environment variable.

set TERMINFO_DIRS=/usr/share/terminfo
(A drive letter is not valid for this. When extracted the ncurses-term-0.5.2.zip to %HOME%, this setting is not required.)

How to compile the w3m

See the doc/build.html.
