It would be great to have a web browser that can work in CLI.

OK guys here we go again!

I would very much have a web browser that works in CLI. I've checked the 32 bit repo and can't find any. A text based web browser like lynx or if there is something that is considered better to use. (A speech synthesizer to go with it wouldn't be too bad either. ) Well let's get serious. It was a long time ago when I used it but I think it's still maintained. Well I would deeply appreciate if someone could make it as an extension. Thanks beforehand!

PS Maybe it's used in a GUI environment. I don't remember. Sorry for bugging you. DS

Hi again!

Reading some thread I saw that Links should be available in 32 bit. Strange isn't it. I wasn't looking for it but there it was. I installed and loaded it but I couldn't load the TC web site so I had to startx and tell you I have found links in the repo. I thought links had the ability to show some graphic stuff but this one is pure text. So I found more or less what I was looking for.

I don't understand exactly what you're looking for, but for x86 TC14 you've got:


• links.tcz - text mode only
• links-full.tcz - text mode, or graphics (images) via framebuffer or X (start with "links -g" for graphics)
• elinks-nodep.tcz - text mode only, no HTTPS support
• lynx.tcz - text mode only (I'm not sure how you missed this)

On x86_64 there's just links.tcz and links-full.tcz.

Edit: Pehaps you meant PiCore? Only links.tcz seems to be available there. Please say the exact architecture, eg. armv6, instead of "32bit" when talking about PiCore in parts of the forum that aren't dedicated to it.

You're right I should have mentioned that I was checking tthe 32 bit piCore repo and as I mentioned in my second post I found links in that repo. Will be more careful to mention that I'm using piCore in the future.

this post on another thread reminded me to inquire regarding the potential for a lynx extension for CorePure64

I had this trouble when making the links-full.tcz extension for x86_64 and fixed it (according to my notes) by adding "-B/usr/local/lib" to CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS:

Code: [Select]

export CFLAGS="-mtune=generic -Os -pipe -B/usr/local/lib" CXXFLAGS="-mtune=generic -Os -pipe -B/usr/local/lib" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1"
