w3m image???

Hello,

I've been considering building a package to allow w3m to display images.

On other distributions (Alpine Linux and Devuan) this functionality is provided by the package w3m-image (or w3m.img).

However, looking at w3m source files at sourceforge, I couldn't find such thing as w3m-image or anything similar.

Can anyone give me some pointer as to where or how find the proper sources?

Thanks.

How about ths one [w3m_0.5.3.orig.tar.gz] from:

https://packages.debian.org/buster/w3m-img

could be the files you are looking for are in there.

Hello @sixofeight.

I tried that already. If you check

http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/w/w3m/

you'll see that, while there are w3m-img .deb packages, the tar.xz source file only refers to w3m.

Hi sofia-m

Q: Do you run w3m in X or in a tty?

I'm asking because I compiled w3m from the *.orig code

(needs also libgc.so.1 on my system, ymmv)

and images are displayed out of the box -- in X.

It does not work in (eg) the xfce4-terminal; it does work in xterm, so it depends on which terminal is used.

Maybe, if not done already, compile w3m *.orig code to check if you need w3m-image at all.

Re: w3m image???

Did you compile it on slitaz?

I run w3m on tty. It's my fav browser on systems without x.

Did you change any parameters when you compiled it?

Ah,OK...I don't see images when w3m is running in a TTY - only in X and xterm.

--> Did you change any parameters when you compiled it? <--

  --with-gc \

  --with-ssl \

  --enable-image="x11,fb" \

  --enable-keymap="w3m" \

  --enable-gopher \

  --enable-unicode \

  --enable-nls \

  --enable-m17n \

  --with-imagelib="gtk2 gdk-pixbuf2 imlib2" \

  --with-termlib="terminfo ncurses" \

--> Did you compile it on slitaz? <--

Well, I once was a happy slitaz-4 user.then my hardware changed > sz-4 did not work anymore

and sz-5 was not useable at that time.[and still is not major enough today - IMO]

so no, I'm on slackware.

I must confess that I don't have much time to understand and fix something like this. Sorry.

Re: w3m image???

Bonjour sofia-m,

l'anglais n'est pas ma langue.

Peut-être ai-je mal compris le fil des messages.

il me semble que w3m-img est bien dans le paquet w3m (voir l'image jointe)

================translation===============

Hello sofia-m,

English is not my language.

Perhaps I misunderstood the thread of the messages.

It seems to me that w3m-img is in the w3m package (see attached image)

@sixofeight

--> so no, I'm on slackware

I understand. I'm referring specifically to w3m slitaz 5.0 package. I have no problems with w3m-image on my other distros.

Capisco. Io mi riferisco specificamente al pacchetto w3m slitaz 5.0. Non ho problemi con w3m-img nelle mie altre distribuzioni.

Hello @Rantanplan

You are correct, I haven't opened the source tar.gz. I will try to make a slitaz w3m-img package out of it.

Tu as raison, je n'ai pas ouvert la source tar.gz. J'essaierai de faire un paquet Slitaz W3M-IMG.
