New port of the "links" web browser - Page 2

Tulapi · 09-02-2011, 04:30 AM

There is a new build of the links browser for Pro series with the possibility to execute shell scripts.

From sergueyv :

"I was asked to add the possibility to execute shell scripts from links. This installation contains links modification + html and shell scripts example."

The 302 has wifi and can benefit from the links browser. I have an old version from a year ago that ran OK. I look forward to installing this.

So, how do I install this to my 302? I've downloaded the file links-3xx-2011-07-21 and unzipped it, but can't figure out where to transfer what files to the 302.

1. Open the unzipped links-3xx-2011-07-21 directory
2. Go to system/config/ and rename the file extensions.cfg to extensions2.cfg
3. Then copy the three directories ("applications", "games", "system") from the zipped file to your Pocketbook (in the directory which contains the directories with the same names : "applications", "games",...)
4. In the Pocketbook file sytem, go to system/config
5. In the file extensions.cfg, replace the two lines starting with "htm:.." and "html:..." by the two lines from extensions2.cfg
6. It's done. You can start the browser by clicking on "start_links" in the "applications" or "games" folders (I suppose, I don't have a 302)

Thanks, Tulapi! That was very helpful. A web browser that actually works on my 302. The buttons even make sense. Amazing.

I probably missed something - how do I call the menu in links? On my ubuntu terminal I would use the 'ESC', but obviously that doesn't work here. Any pointers?

Thanks a lot!

jbaach · 11-06-2011, 09:29 AM

oh, applying some 'grep' helped a lot, and I was able to compile my own browser which has the 'esc' triggered by the menu key. :-)

Tulapi · 11-06-2011, 01:31 PM

congratulations !
Will you let us try it ?

jbaach · 11-06-2011, 03:28 PM

Of course: http://baach.de/Members/jhb/links_w_menu.app/view. The left/right keys don't work in the menu, so right now one would need a touchscreen. Not to much to set there, and it doesn't save it settings.

Tulapi · 11-06-2011, 05:15 PM

Very cool. As I haven't a touchscreen, I have been only able to open the "File" menu.
History, bookmarks seem to be working.
(Go to to URL > Enter URL don't display the keyboard on 602)
Keep up the good work.
