<title>Command explanations</title>
<para><parameter>--libdir=/etc</parameter>: For some reason, the
<command>configure</command> and <command>make</command> routine for
<application>Lynx</application> uses libdir as the prefix for the
configuration file. This is set to <filename class="directory">/etc</filename>
so that the system wide configuration file is
<filename>/etc/lynx.cfg</filename>.</para>
<para><option>--with-zlib</option>: This enables support for
linking <application>libz</application> into
<application>Lynx</application>.</para>
<para><option>--with-bzlib</option>: This enables support for
linking <application>libbz2</application> into
<application>Lynx</application>.</para>
<para><parameter>docdir=... helpdir=...</parameter>: These
variables are set to avoid getting the help and documentation files installed
under <filename class="directory">/etc</filename>.</para>
<para><option>--with-ssl</option>: This enables support for
linking <acronym>SSL</acronym> into <application>Lynx</application>.</para>
<para><option>--with-gnutls</option>: This enables support for
linking <application>Gnu<acronym>TLS</acronym></application> into
<application>Lynx</application>.</para>
<para><command>chgrp -R root /usr/share/doc/lynx/2.8.5/lynx_doc</command>:
This command corrects the improper group ownership of installed documentation
files caused if <application>Lynx</application> is built by any user other
than root.</para>
