<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 <option>libdir</option> 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><parameter>--with-zlib</parameter>: This enables support for
linking <filename class="libraryfile">libz</filename> into
<application>Lynx</application>.</para>
<para><parameter>--with-bzlib</parameter>: This enables support for
linking <filename class="libraryfile">libbz2</filename> 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><parameter>install-full</parameter>: In addition to the standard
installation, this target installs the documentation and the help
files.</para>
<para><option>--with-ssl</option>: This enables support for
linking SSL into <application>Lynx</application>.</para>
<para><option>--with-gnutls</option>: This enables support for
linking <application>GnuTLS</application> into
<application>Lynx</application>.</para>
<para><command>chgrp -v -R root
/usr/share/doc/lynx-&lynx-version;/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
<systemitem class="username">root</systemitem>.</para>
<note>
<para>There has been a security vulnerability identified if you enable
support for CGI links by passing the <option>--enable-cgi-links</option>
parameter to <command>configure</command>. See <ulink
url="http://seclists.org/lists/vulnwatch/2005/Oct-Dec/0041.html"/> for
details.</para>
