***PLS SEE SECURITY REMINDER ON TOP POST***

COPYING ELINKS BINARY TO KOBO CLARA HD WITHOUT COMPILING OR CHROOT:
(Some may find this an easier way to get the elinks browser.)

You can see dependencies of elinks from here.

Depends (6)
libbz2
libcrypto3
libexpat
libssl3
musl
zlib

You can get the packages from here.

You can get a CA certificate store from here.

DOWNLOAD THE REQUIRED PACKAGES:

$ wget https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpin...-0.15.1-r1.apk

$ wget https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpin...2-1.0.8-r4.apk

$ wget https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpin...3-3.0.8-r1.apk

$ wget https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpin...t-2.5.0-r0.apk

$ wget https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpin...3-3.0.8-r1.apk

$ wget https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpin...l-1.2.3-r4.apk

$ wget https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpin...-1.2.13-r0.apk

$ wget https://curl.se/ca/cacert.pem

RUN THESE COMMANDS FROM LINUX DESKTOP OR ENVIRONMENT(really just need to unarchive and copy some files, but the tar command fails if you try it on the vfat filesystem /mnt/onboard of the Kobo because of vfat not supporting symlinks. I didn't try on the root filesystem partition e.g. /opt):

$ mkdir myalpine

$ cd myalpine/

$ tar zxvf elinks-0.15.1-r1.apk

$ tar zxvf libbz2-1.0.8-r4.apk

$ tar zxvf libcrypto3-3.0.8-r1.apk

$ tar zxvf libexpat-2.5.0-r0.apk

$ tar zxvf libssl3-3.0.8-r1.apk

$ tar zxvf musl-1.2.3-r4.apk

$ tar zxvf zlib-1.2.13-r0.apk

$ mkdir scripts

$ mv usr/bin/elinks scripts/

$ ls -l scripts/
-rwxr-xr-x 923356 elinks

$ mkdir libs

$ mv usr/lib/libbz2.so.1.0.8 libs/libbz2.so.1

$ mv lib/libcrypto.so.3 libs/

$ mv usr/lib/libexpat.so.1.8.10 libs/libexpat.so.1

$ mv lib/libssl.so.3 libs/

$ cp lib/ld-musl-armhf.so.1 libs/libc.musl-armv7.so.1

$ mv lib/ld-musl-armhf.so.1 libs/

$ mv lib/libz.so.1.2.13 libs/libz.so.1

$ ls -l libs
-rwxr-xr-x 525980 ld-musl-armhf.so.1
-rwxr-xr-x 69772 libbz2.so.1
-rwxr-xr-x 525980 libc.musl-armv7.so.1
-rwxr-xr-x 2233828 libcrypto.so.3
-rwxr-xr-x 132444 libexpat.so.1
-rwxr-xr-x 405904 libssl.so.3
-rwxr-xr-x 66856 libz.so.1

$ cp cacert.pem cert.pm
$ mkdir certs
$ cp cacert.pem certs/ca-certificates.crt

NOW CONNECT YOUR KOBO TO YOUR PC:

Note the contents of /mnt/onboard/.adds/koreader/scripts/ does not have any elinks binary.
Copy your elinks binary from the scripts/ folder on the PC to the /mnt/onboard/.adds/koreader/scripts/ folder on the kobo.

Note the contents of /mnt/onboard/.adds/koreader/libs/ already has a libz.so.1 lib.
Copy all libs except libz.so.1 from the libs/ folder on the PC to the /mnt/onboard/.adds/koreader/libs/ folder on the kobo.
Note that these new libs all have a different date than the default pre-existing libs.

Copy your cert.pm and certs/ca-certificates.crt to the /etc/ssl/ directory.(You may notice there is already one in the /mnt/onboard/.adds/koreader/data/ folder anyway.)

RUN THESE COMMANDS IN KOREADER TERMINAL, OR FROM A TELNET/SSH CLIENT CONNECTION:

***SECURITY REMINDER***
Telnet sessions are in cleartext INCLUDING LOGIN SESSIONS, so only use on a private network, if at all!
If you always have DEVMODE set to ON for whatever reasons , that means Telnet is on by default, unless you toggle it off , e.g. using NickelMenu.

You can install KOReader to get the more secure SSH option, and NiLuJe's kobostuff provides a package that includes an SSH binary.

You can start the KOReader SSH server via NickelMenu.

**********************************

IF RUNNING FROM KOREADER TERMINAL:

# elinks

IF RUNNING FROM A TELNET/SSH CLIENT CONNECTION:

# cd /mnt/onboard/.adds/koreader/
# export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/mnt/onboard/.adds/koreader/libs/
# echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
# ./scripts/elinks

You then enter '.' to see current working directory, or enter a web address
(just keep pressing return if you get SSL errors).
Up and Down arrows to traverse the links.
Left and Right arrows to follow link or go back.
Space and 'b' to page forward and back.
'[' and ']' to go left and right.
Enter to edit a text field, 'd' to download link.
'a' to add a bookmark, 's' to see them, TAB to move through options.
ESC followed by Down arrow and Left/Right arrows to see menus.
'g' to enter a new address, 'q' to quit.

ALL THIS WORKED FOR ME, BUT I AM UNSURE IF IT IS BECAUSE OF SOMETHING I INSTALLED PREVIOUSLY!

YMMVVVVVVVVVVVVVV.....

TRY THE W3M BROWSER AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO ELINKS:

The w3m web browser has only the following dependencies:

Depends (6)
gc
libcrypto3*
libssl3*
musl*
ncurses-libs*
zlib*

*already got these from elinks and nano installs.

$ wget https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpin...0220429-r3.apk

$ wget https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpin...c-8.2.2-r0.apk

$ wget https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpin...0220924-r4.apk
(a dependency of gc)

$ wget https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpin...0220924-r4.apk

$ mv usr/bin/w3m scripts/

$ cp -r usr/lib/w3m libs/

$ mv usr/lib/libgctba.so.1.5.0 libs/libgctba.so.1

$ mv usr/lib/libgcc_s.so.1 libs/libgcc_s.so.1

$ mv usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6.0.30 libs/libstdc++.so.6

NOW CONNECT YOUR KOBO TO YOUR PC:

Copy your w3m binary from the scripts/ folder on the PC to the /mnt/onboard/.adds/koreader/scripts/ folder on the kobo.

Copy new libs from the libs/ folder on the PC to the /mnt/onboard/.adds/koreader/libs/ folder on the kobo:
w3m/
libcord.so.1
libgc.so.1
libgctba.so.1
libgcc_s.so.1
libstdc++.so.6

RUN THESE FROM KOREADER TERMINAL:

# cp -r libs/w3m/ /usr/lib/
# w3m -v
('U' to open link,e.g. http://w3m.sourceforge.net/ or https://github.com/tats/w3m , 'q' to quit)
('o' to get option list
Space down to Color Settings->Display with color
Tab to No
Enter
Space down to bottom of options page
Tab or Esc-Tab to OK
Enter
'q' , 'y' to quit)

***

When upgrading to OCP-KOReader-v2023.06 and copying libs from my old KOReader setup, KOReader would crash when opening pdf files.

The crash was because of libs installed for the w3m browser.

w3m libs not needed:
libgcc_s.so.1
libgctba.so.1
* this lib would crash KOReader when opening pdf files *

Ironically, if I don't copy those two libs to the new KOReader installation, w3m seems to work fine anyway.

***

ABBREVIATED OUTPUT OF "elinks -dump libs/w3m/w3mhelp.html":

Spoiler:

***ADD A COUPLE OF GAMES***

The moon-buggy arcade shooting game has only the following dependencies:

Depends (2)
libncursesw**
musl*

* Already got it from the Elinks/Nano install above.
** Already got the equivalent from the Nano install above.

The ttyper typing test game has only the following dependencies:

Depends (2)
libgcc**
musl*

* Already got it from the Elinks/Nano install above.
** Already got it as a gc subdependency from the W3m install above.

DOWNLOAD THE REQUIRED PACKAGES:

wget https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpin...-1.0.51-r1.apk

wget https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpin...r-1.2.0-r1.apk

RUN THESE COMMANDS FROM LINUX DESKTOP:

$ cd myalpine/

$ tar zxvf moon-buggy-1.0.51-r1.apk

$ mv usr/bin/moon-buggy scripts/

$ tar zxvf ttyper-1.2.0-r1.apk

$ mv usr/bin/ttyper scripts/

NOW CONNECT YOUR KOBO TO YOUR PC:

Copy your moon-buggy/ttyper binaries from the scripts/ folder on the PC to the /mnt/onboard/.adds/koreader/scripts/ folder on the kobo.

RUN THESE FROM KOREADER TERMINAL:

# moon-buggy
(Space to jump, 'a' to fire, 'q' to quit)

# ttyper -w 5
(type any letter followed by backspace to see 5-word list, then type each word followed by a space. Slide up the right scrollbar to see score.)

***

***NOTE***

The links provided were valid at the time, and should be good for a while, especially if they are all from the same branch, i.e. 3.17 in this case.

But if you download packages from the edge branch, as was the case for moon-buggy, its dependencies will keep changing as the rolling edge branch keeps updating.

So at some point the provided links will be out of date, and you would have to search for the package yourself in the edge branch or the latest branch(e.g. 3.18):
https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/packages?arch=armv7
This would list the up-to-date dependencies.

Then download the required binary the from the appropriate repository:
https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/

Slide up the right scrollbar to see score.) * *NOTE* The links provided were valid at the time, and should be good for a while, especially if they are all from the same branch, i.e. 3.17 in this case. But if you download packages from the edge branch, as was the case for moon-buggy, its dependencies will keep changing as the rolling edge branch keeps updating. So at some point the provided links will be out of date, and you would have to search for the package yourself in the edge branch or the latest branch(e.g. 3.18): https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/packages?arch=armv7 This would list the up-to-date dependencies. Then download the required binary the from the appropriate repository: https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/ *** Last edited by elinkser; 09-18-2023 at 06:28 PM.
