LYNX-DEV compiling lynx in a separate directory

[Philippe De Muyter]

Hello,

I just noticed that lynx is now patched to use autoconf, as many other
free softwares.  I downloaded 2-7-1ac.0.93 and tried to compile it in a
separate directory as I (and many others) usually do, especially when one
must produce binaries for more than one platform.

But that failed with :

 [ configure messages ]
 updating cache ./config.cache
 creating ./config.status
 creating makefile
 mkdir: "WWW/Library/unix": No such file or directory
 creating WWW/Library/unix/makefile
 ./config.status: WWW/Library/unix/makefile: cannot create
 creating src/makefile
 creating src/chrtrans/makefile
 creating lynx_cfg.h
 cd WWW/Library/unix && gnumake  CC="gcc" \
         LYFLAGS=""
 /bin/sh: WWW/Library/unix: bad directory
 gnumake: *** [all] Error 1

Is that already worked on ?

Thanks in advance
