www-client/elinks-9999 ebuild

First try to add ebuild for elinks browser, as it actively developed in git http://repo.or.cz/w/elinks.git

Configure script failure

(In reply to comment #0)
It doesn't compile for me. It doesn't even produce working configure script (take a look at build.log).

I have tried to compile it outside of the portage:

git clone ... -> ./autogen.sh -> ./configure -> make

and it results with working configure script and compiles normally.

added "sh ./autogen.sh" string, this is an ugly trick, but it works!

Here is nice fixed version of ebuild - and it is working ok.

[Comment 5 Raphaël Droz 2011-08-31 16:26:19 UTC]

http://elinks.cz/download.html seems to indicate that
http://elinks.cz/elinks.git as the repository

- is Git elinks compatible with spidermonkey 1.8.5 (I hope so) ? then "javascript? ( dev-lang/spidermonkey )" would be really nice.

- EAPI=4 ?

- AFAIK we use KEYWORDS="" for -9999 ebuild isn't ?

- git or git-2 eclass ?

All fixed, but http://elinks.cz/elinks.git doesnt work, so I'm using old git uri: git://repo.or.cz/w/elinks.git

Thank you, it works fine for me with spidermonkey 1.8.5 (tested with a basic JS redirection)

Now I just feel strange that:
- elinks.conf sample disappeared (URL about sample.conf files policy ?)
- this ebuild-9999 contains calls to epatch with non-distro specific patches :)

hm. looks like elinks tree doesnt have sample.conf now.
These patches taken from older elinks ebuild.

We don't normally add *just* live ebuilds in the tree. Is it really necessary to have an ebuild for this package which at at the very early stages of development?

[Comment 12 Sergey Popov 2013-04-01 13:03:56 UTC]

No comments from maintainer about this in some months, proxies refused to commit this. Closing as WONTFIX
