Do you know where your libwc.* is?
Is it in your libwc/ directory?

[Shinji Teragaito_1]

Didn't your Makefile generate libwc/libwc.a ?

Thank you for your replies, while running configure in w3m; i get the below warnings. Will these impact this problem

checking image library... gtk2 gdk-pixbuf imlib imlib2
configure: WARNING: GdkPixbuf is not installed. Install GdkPixbuf (version >= 2.0.0)
configure: WARNING: GdkPixbuf is not installed. Install GdkPixbuf (version >= 0.16.0)
configure: WARNING: Imlib is not installed. Install Imlib (version >= 1.9.8)
configure: WARNING: Imlib2 is not installed. Install Imlib2 (version >= 1.0.5)
configure: WARNING: unable to build w3mimgdisplay with X11 support


And i have no idea where libwc is located, i don't have any clue!

[Shinji Teragaito_1]

I have the same warning messages when invoking the configure
script. But I don't care them because I don't need to display
graphics using w3m :-) If you want to have such needs, I'd
recommend you to install the related graphics libraries with the
header files.

You should have libwc/libwc.a in the w3m source directory. As I
mentioned, libwc.a is created during executing w3m make.

Do your Makefile have "WCTARGET = libwc/libwc.a" ?

[Rizwan84tx]

I observed that w3m has libwc directory, but libwc.a is not inside the libwc.

I checked the Makefile in w3m, it has "WCTARGET = libwc/libwc.a".

[Shinji Teragaito_1]

Unless you use m17n, please specify --disable-m17n to the configure script.
(refer to doc/README.m17n)

Then you should have w3m which don't need libwc/libwc.a.

[Rizwan84tx]

I'm really confused, i don't understand a thing in that README.m17n. Do i need to modify the configure script? how to specify --disable-m17n to the configure script? Could you guide me.

[Shinji Teragaito_1]

For example,

% ./configure --disable-m17n

I don't know exactly where gc is installed on your environment.
Fortunately, configure may find its headers and
libraries. Otherwise you have to give the appropriate information
to configure script.

By the way, here's a tips to avoid a termcap error.

% diff terms.c.orig terms.c
714a715,717
> #ifdef __hpux
> if (r == -1) {
> #else
715a719
> #endif
%

I'd recommend you to modify terms.c described above unless you
are using ncurses.

[Rizwan84tx]

It says configure --disable-m17n could not be found.

[Rizwan84tx]

Hi I executed disable --m17n and i got 29 error "unsatisfied symbol"
