The question asked by this posting is: "Why isn't Lynx linking?".
I am trying to build Lynx on NT4 with Cygwin (using bash), but, as usual when things
don't go quite right, I need to find out which
one of the 200 command-line "configure" arguments I need.
Why can't we have just have a makefile instead of having to create the makefile from a
16000 line shell script that is pretty much
un-debuggable?
I am using the following command:
configure --build=CYGWIN --target=WIN32 --with-screen=ncurses --with-zlib
--disable-full-paths --with-ssl --enable-externs; make
but when it gets to the linking phase, it moans about things like "stdscr" and "LINES"
not being defined (these are defined in
libncurses.a).
An "strace" of the command line below reveals that /usr/lib/libncurses.a appears to be
being searched:
176 18575015 [main] ld 85 fhandler_base::lseek: lseek (/usr/lib/libncurses.dll.a,
15360, 0)
I know that "LINES" *is* defined in my /usr/lib/libncurses.a because:
Tue Feb 27-09:51:39 /lynx2-8-4/src 531$ nm --defined /usr/lib/libncurses.a | grep
LINES
00000004 D _LINES
x
The link line looks like this:
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DLOCALEDIR=\"/usr/local/share/locale\" -I. -I.. -Ichrtrans
-I./chrtrans -I.. -I../src -I../WWW/Library/Implem

UCAux.o UCAuto.o LYExtern.o LYLocal.o -lncurses
../WWW/Library/Implementation/libwww.a -lz -lssl -lcrypto -lssl -luser32
I have tried adding putting "-L/lib" in various places in the command line (even
though I shouldn't need to do this) but I still get
"LINES" among other items from libncurses.a being undefined.
The output from the above command is:
