Hello macporters,

I got the web browser lynx both by downloading the binary version and compiling 
one locally.

Without going into much detail, there are some minor differences in how it 
works with speech using a screen reader.

In the binary version it reads each link as I arrow up or down.

The compiled version does not, I must read the line manually to have it spoken.

Any idea why there is this difference?

Can you please try to recompile with

 sudo port -ts install lynx

and check whether it's still different?

One thing that's easy to explain would be opportunistic linking: when
a library is used despite not being defined as a dependency. But
that's a blind guess. Usually the two should be the same. If they are
not, that's a bug worth reporting.

You could also compare the output of "otool -L /opt/local/bin/lynx"

Differences in binary and compiled port

[dan d.]

Hello macporters,

I got the web browser lynx both by downloading the binary version and compiling 
one locally.

Without going into much detail, there are some minor differences in how it 
works with speech using a screen reader.

In the binary version it reads each link as I arrow up or down.

The compiled version does not, I must read the line manually to have it spoken.

Any idea why there is this difference?
