Compiling elinks with 256 color suport
Hello, I am using darwinports on my Powerbook running OSX 10.4.8. prompt> port version Version: 1.320 I was able to install elinks and use it without any problems. Thanks for all the great work!! After using it for a bit, I found that using more than 16 colors will help usability quite a bit. (I tried this out on my Linux box and, yes! it definitely helps). For this elinks (http://elinks.or.cz/faq.html) recommends compiling an xterm with 256 color support and then compiling elinks again. I got the xterm part done. However for elinks, its not simple as adding "--with-256colors" in the config.args in the Portfile; the docs then say I need to edit the feature.conf file before compiling. Can someone tell me how I can find and edit the feature.conf file for compiling elinks? I did the following search and it didnt return any matches: promtp> find /opt/local/ -name feature.conf Thanks!

I've submitted a patch for the elinks Portfile that contains a variant +col256 that does what you want and shows you one possible way to do it. ;-) You can get it from http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ ticket/10990 Regards, Marc
