Hy, (me NOOB)

After many of tryouts I did it:P
FreeBSD is working the way I want it on my computer.
The internet connection works, so does DNS , and I have already running an X server (xfree86 4.2.0).

Now the next step was installing an X, I chose GNOME.

When I wanted to start the instalation (online) I read I needid LYNX for the instalation.

So I downloaded the lynx setup files, they are on my hard drive

/usr/erik/lynxdir

But simply don't know how to instal it:S

I tried #SH INSTALL.SH, an #./configure but it didn't work.

So does anyone know how to install lynx.

Thanx, cu

All the installation ways are nearly the same, You may try this steps.

./configure

Read, and then edit, the Makefile. The primary lines you might have to edit are the exec, doc and cfg lines. For certain systems, or options, you will have to uncomment some of the Makefile comments - there are comments to let you know which ones to uncomment. The tricky part is to determine which ones you will eventually want to mess with.

At this step, try to compile. From the lynx directory, type

nohup make > make.out 2>&1

if you are using a Bourne/Korn shell. This captures all of the output from the make into a file. This will come in handy since you will want to look for warnings, errors, etc. after the make completes. For tcsh, you may want to use 'make _target_ >& make.out &' to start a background job that makes the binary.

If there are problems read the PROBLEMS file.

When the compilation succeeds, type

./lynx http://lynx.browser.org/

If you can see the Lynx homepage, then the lynx binary can open HTTP connections and parse/render a basic html document. To install Lynx in the directories you specified (in the Makefile), issue the command:

make install

I have a makefile.bcb, makefile.msc and a makefile.in.

Ive load makefile.in in a text editor. But what do I have to do hith it.

and for ::nohup make > make.out 2>&1

When I edited the makefile, is make.out my output file?

Login as root

cd /usr/ports/www/lynx

make install clean

Bammo! You got lynx on your system.

Thank you verry much!!!!

Is this something standart in bsd ????? (the download command)
