You can't use tazpkg convert to change source code into a package. You need to compile it. I'm not sure where this rumour came from, but it's seems to pop up a lot along with the rumour that puppy can do this - neither of which is true.

Also why use w3m when you could use Links?

Hi Appdude13,

Click the link to download w3m-0.5.3.tazpkg,run the command to install.

Links is compiled/packaged in the repo,the command will download/install.

Compiled for SliTaz 4.0 :

[c]# tazpkg install[/c] w3m-0.5.3.tazpkg

[c]# tazpkg -gi links[/c]
