This didn't hit lynx-dev, so I'm sending it there, with this comment to netbsd-users:
I started this thread because *not only* the lynx browser but emacs also won't build with the supplied stock make and this is *less good than before*. Follow the thread: it's not lynx, and not emacs, it's NetBSD 2.0 make that is the problem. IMHO it's rather less than impressive to have to go fetch gmake before you can install programs/utilities that are frankly universal and that worked up to 1.6.2 out of the box.

Which means the Lynx makefile is actually broken, and just "happens to work" on some OS's by lucky chance of a nonstandard extension in the system-level makefile fragments. -- -- Todd Vierling <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Lynx-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lynx-dev
