I suspect that elinks lua support is quite old and won't work with lua later than 5.0 (which is gone from ports). It builds, but configure fails, so lua is turned off. 'make configure' with the LUA option on produces: =================== . . checking for Lua... no . . =================== And in config.log... =================== . . configure:17581: checking for Lua configure:17640: cc -o conftest -O2 -pipe -I/usr/local/include/nspr -I/usr/local/include/js-1.7 -fstack-protector -isystem /usr/local/include -fno-strict-aliasing -Wall -I/usr/local/include/lua51 -isystem /usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib -lnspr4 -pthread -lpthread -lm -Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/lib -fstack-protector -rdynamic conftest.c -llua -llualib -lm -ljs -lexecinfo -L/usr/local/lib -lbz2 -lexpat >&5 conftest.c:145:17: warning: implicit declaration of function 'luaL_newstate' is invalid in C99 [-Wimplicit-function-declaration] lua_State *L = lua_open(); ^ /usr/local/include/lua51/lua.h:287:20: note: expanded from macro 'lua_open' #define lua_open() luaL_newstate() ^ conftest.c:145:13: warning: incompatible integer to pointer conversion initializing 'lua_State *' (aka 'struct lua_State *') with an expression of type 'int' [-Wint-conversion] lua_State *L = lua_open(); ^ ~~~~~~~~~~ 2 warnings generated. /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -llua . . ================ And in config.h: /* Define if you want: Lua support */ /* #undef CONFIG_LUA */ Just fixing the compilation args used for the configure test to work with lua51 (for example) is not enough. The resulting test program seg faults (lua_open produces something luaopen_base() does not like). Unless someone wants to do surgery to update elinks to work with newer lua (and submit upstream ideally), I suggest we just remove the option and pass --without-lua to configure.
Ping!

The elinks configure.ac looks for mozjs-78.pc, so it seems like it should build with spidermonkey78. It may be that moving toward building with that instead of the old spidermonkey17 might be an option. That seems like that (spidermonkey78) pulls in a dependency on sqlite3 and libxml++-5.0 (the latter is not in the current ports tree yet, so that addition may be needed to build with spidermonkey78). Without those dependencies installed the configure steps to check for spidermonkey fail, so support for spidermonkey is disabled.

My bad, how could I've missed that! I'll see what I can do.
