I would presume that the precompiled libraries are OK until proven otherwise. I didn't look for precompiled libraries, so I am not certain how the patches that they used to compile for MingW differed from what I posted. To keep the binary file compatible with Win98, I would try to ascertain that they are not dependent on any system files only available with WinNT/Win2K/WinXP. > > ... > > 1.

When I put together the guide, I had forgotten to mention the patch necesary to make lynx function with PDCurses 2.7 or 2.8. By using 2.6, you avoid the need for that patch (which I hope will be included in dev.19). > > 2.

OpenSSL uses the environment variable SSL_CERT_FILE to indicate where the collection of trusted certificates resides. How does GnuTLS find the file if it isn't in the default location which was compiled in? > > 3.

On the version that I compiled, the character set conversion worked correctly in fullscreen mode, using the DOS codepages, for all combinations that I tried, but sometimes gave wrong characters in windows mode. I'll try again with the latest versions (gettext-0.15 and libiconv-1.11 to see if that makes any difference. > > ... > > #!/bin/bash.exe > > LDFLAGS="-mno-cygwin -static" \ > > LIBS="-L/mingw/lib -lwsock32 -lgdi32 -lmsvcrt -liconv" \ > > I think "-L/mingw/lib" should be in LDFLAGS instead of in LIBS.

I dont' have those libraries on my machine. Are they bundled with GnuTLS?
