Hiya All
I think previous threads revealed that one set of the lynx binaries (lynx
2.8.2r1 at http://www.workspot.net/~varshar/lynx-2.8.2r1.tar.gz ) linked
from the cygwin website had two problems:
1) The TERMINFO var had to be set explicitly, as the binaries were expecting
them to be elsewhere
2) The binaries also expected cp to be in somehwhere other than /usr/bin or
/bin
I've recompiled lynx on my machine (worked almost OOTB ;-) ) but I thought
I'd put them up on the web just incase anyone else wanted them. I've placed
them at http://www.netnexus.uklinux.net/downloads/lynx2.8.3r1.tar.gz
The three files need to be manually moved to the relevant locations (see the
README). The binaries were compiled without any special options to
./configure.
If someone can verify they work on a machine other than my own, the existing
link on the cygwin website could be replaced.
I also wouldn't mind doing a proper cygwin package for lynx (ie. one people
can see with setup.exe) *if* it isn't too hard, and someone can point me in
the right direction.
Hope the binaries are of use to someone
Sagar
