But the next few lines of the man page say that only works if --enable-graphics was given to ./configure when compiling links. In the port's Makefile it only turns on --enable-graphics if you compile it for X. (More specifically, it only turns on --enable-graphics if -DWITHOUT_X11 is not defined.) So to run it without X but with graphics, you'll have to modify the Makefile or just manually compile links. Just out of curiousity, I tried it just now. A quick hack to make it work: Make sure you have svgalib installed (/usr/ports/devel/svgalib). Remove the --without-svgalib from the first CONFIGURE_ARGS line. Add --enable-graphics to the same line. Remove the whole .if !defined(WITHOUT_X11) ... .endif section. Run it with 'links -g -mode 640x480x16'. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA
