Fixing grey background (default bgcolor) in graphic links2

#Installing dependencies if you can become root is easy (Debian names shown):

apt-get install pkg-config libpng12-dev libjpeg62-dev xorg-dev
# libssl-dev libgpm-dev libbz2-dev

#Fetch the web browser source:

mkdir mylinks &&
cd mylinks &&
apt-get source links2

#Here's the magic, changing the default graphics mode background color from grey to white:

patch -p 0 <<END

#Now we can compile the software:

cd links2-* &&
./configure --with-x --enable-graphics &&
make
# --with-ssl

#Then you can test it with:

./links -g -no-connect

#Perhaps you could also:

strip links
