Newsbeuter 
by Andreas Krennmair ak@newsbeuter.org
Newsbeuter is an RSS feed reader for the text console. Zed Shaw
called it "The
Mutt of Feed Readers".
It is designed to run on Unix-like operating systems such as GNU/Linux and
FreeBSD. NetBSD is currently not supported, due to technical limitations.

Dependencies
Newsbeuter depends on a number of libraries, which need to be installed before
newsbeuter can be compiled.
- GCC 4.9 or newer, or Clang 3.6 or newer
- STFL (version 0.21 or newer)
- SQLite3 (version 3.5 or newer)
- libcurl (version 7.18.0 or newer)
- GNU gettext (on systems that don't provide gettext in the libc):
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gettext/ - pkg-config
- libxml2
- json-c (version 0.11 or newer)
Debian unstable comes with ready-to-use packages for these dependencies.
Installation
Compiling and installing newsbeuter is as simple as:
make
make install
(And if you ever need to uninstall it, use make uninstall.)
Tests
If you're a developer, here's how you can run the test suite:
make -j5 PROFILE=1 all test
(cd test && TMPDIR=/dev/shm ./test --order rand)
Note the use of ramdisk as TMPDIR: some of our tests require temporary files,
which degrades the performance quite a bit if TMPDIR isn't in-memory.
