I now see why CAN_CUT_AND_PASTE was not defined, even though
HAVE_POPEN is defined in lynx_cfg.h. There is a line in HTUtils.h
that undefines HAVE_POPEN for Cygwin. So the options are to either
define WIN_EX for Cygwin before www_tcp.h (as Tom had said he planned
to do) or to take out the line undefining HAVE_POPEN for Cygwin.
Does anyone remember why that was undefined? Is Cygwin's popen still
broken? The only problem I saw on the cygwin mailing list archives is
that Cygwin's popen requires the presence of /bin/sh. Of course, for
CAN_CUT_AND_PASTE, Cygwin doesn't use popen, it uses the Windows API
to the Windows clipboard instead, but I thought that the HAVE_POPEN
would have caused CAN_CUT_AND_PASTE to be defined. With the current
treatment of Cygwin's popen, that doesn't work.
