As you can see Lynx is compiled with the --enable-externs option by default, which enables the use of external applications (see here: http://lynx.isc.org/lynx2.8.6/lynx2-8-6/INSTALLATION ). To configure the use of those applications you have to edit the configuration file lynx.cfg, which can be found in /etc. |
One by one, I added the folowing to my own ~/lynx.cfg
Code:
XLOADIMAGE_COMMAND:xv %s
VIEWER:video/mpeg:mplayer %s &:XWINDOWS
VERBOSE_IMAGES:TRUE
MAKE_LINKS_FOR_ALL_IMAGES:TRUE
MAKE_PSEUDO_ALTS_FOR_INLINES:TRUE
None of them had any sought-after effect, but now I think I'll try making them in /etc/lynx.cfg.
Many thanks for the info about lynx compilation, I read
http://lynx.isc.org/lynx2.8.6/lynx2-8-6/INSTALLATION and thought --enable-externs would be likely, but when I checked the description of USE_EXTERNALS in lynx.cfg, short as it is, it made me doubt, so decided the safer course was to ask.
Many thanks, /etc/lynx.cfg was the solution, and all I needed to add were the first two lines
Code:
XLOADIMAGE_COMMAND:xv %s
VIEWER:video/mpeg:mplayer %s &:XWINDOWS
