Re: LYNX-DEV Still have problems compiling under DOS

[Bill Schiavo]

OK, Jeff.  First most of don't try to compile this stuff under NT.  Use
the real DOS shell.  In other words, go to a "real" C: prompt.  If you
don't you won't find some of the files which seems to be the problem you
are having.  How far did you get?  Did you get pdcurses23 or PDCurses22
compiled?  Also, which version of Lynx are you trying to compile?

I recently submitted a patch that fixes a broken makefile for the www
code for lynx 2.7.1ac-0.84.  You'll need this if you want to continue with
this project.

Regards!
