Fri, 26 Dec 1997 17:37:15 +0900 (JST) |
Updated INSTALLATION in line with the 97-12-24 changes by Tom.
Either download "http://163.51.110.11/lynxdev/INSTALLATION.gz"; or
apply the appended patch against ac-0.104. There are a number
of other changes that have been made over the past month that have
not yet been included in the distribution INSTALLATION.

(although

ones have to be listed in src/UCdomap.c and, currently, the makefiles in

***************
*** 268,297 ****
1e. Example
I use the following csh shell script to set environment variables and
configure options rather than type them at the command line each time.
#!/bin/csh -f
! setenv RESOLVLIB -lbind
! setenv CPPFLAGS "-DNSL_FORK -I$HOME/.slang/src -I$HOME/.usr/include"
setenv LIBS "-L$HOME/.slang/lib -L$HOME/.usr/lib"
./configure --exec-prefix=$HOME --bindir=$HOME/.lynx \
--mandir=$HOME/.usr/man --libdir=$HOME/.usr/lib \
--with-screen=slang --with-zlib
! The syntax for setting environment variables depends upon your shell.
! I have installed the libbind.a resolver library on this particular SunOS
! machine, and prefer to use it to the old libresolv.a. Setting the
! environment variable RESOLVLIB to -lbind predefines it for the configure
! script. CPPFLAGS in this example defines NSL_FORK, which is not defined
! by default, and for which there is no option switch. (Check under the
! "SITE_DEFS" heading in "makefile.in" for other minor defines for which
! there are no options.) CPPFLAGS also defines the full path to the slang
! and zlib header files, which are not kept in standard directories.
! Likewise, LIBS defines the nonstandard locations of libslang.a and libz.a.
! Setting the option --bindir tells the configure script where I want to
! install the lynx binary; setting --mandir tells it where to put the lynx.1
! man page, and setting --libdir tells it where to put the configuration
! file "lynx.cfg", when I type "make install". The --with-screen=slang and
! --with-zlib options are explained above.

! setenv CPPFLAGS "-SYSLOG_REQUESTED_URLS -I$HOME/slang \

setenv LIBS "-L$HOME/.slang/lib -L$HOME/.usr/lib"
./configure --exec-prefix=$HOME --bindir=$HOME/.lynx \
--mandir=$HOME/.usr/man --libdir=$HOME/.usr/lib \
--with-screen=slang --with-zlib
! The syntax for setting environment variables depends upon your shell. I
! use the libbind.a resolver library, not libresolv.a. Setting RESOLVLIB to
! -lbind defines this environment variable for `make', and thus must be set
! in the same shell that `make' will be run. CPPFLAGS in this example
! predefines SYSLOG_REQUESTED_URLS for the configure script, since it is not
! defined by default, and has no option switch (see "docs/README.defines").
! CPPFLAGS also defines the full path to the slang and zlib header files,
! which are not kept in standard directories. Likewise, LIBS defines the
! nonstandard locations of libslang.a and libz.a. Setting the option

IV. Compile instructions -- Win32 (Windows95/NT)
! The original Win32 port was built with Borland C++ 4.52. Later versions
! of Borland C++ reportedly can be used, but no other compilers have been
! tested. Before compiling the Lynx sources, you need a curses library, and
! it is recommended that you have the zlib library. Get pdcurses2.3 from

! support is no longer broken for Lynx (see
"http://www.fdisk.com/doslynx/";).

+ Although not well documented, it is possible to compile under the cygwin32
+ system, which will allow you to use the configure script described above
+ for Unix. You also have the choice of using either slang or pdcurses.
+ See "http://www.flora.org/lynx-dev/html/month1097/msg00559.html"; and
+ "http://www.flora.org/lynx-dev/html/month1097/msg00186.html";, and other
+ messages along those threads. You will have to make a minor alteration to
+ HTTCP.c (change delay to 30 seconds) and modify HTFILE.c (concerning
+ getgroups). You will need a launch program to call helper applications.

V. Compile instructions -- 386 DOS
***************
*** 477,494 ****
If all goes well, you will have a lynx.exe file. If you have trouble,
check to be sure djgpp.env is the way it came in the original package.
! You probably want to test lynx now, but lynx_386 won't work without a
! packet driver installed. For testing purposes, you can use
! slip8250.com. It is available in the CRYNWR package (available at
! "http://www.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/msdos/pktdrvr/pktd11.zip";).
! Usage is "slip8250 0x60". For connecting over a dialup PPP connection
! you need a package such as dosppp or klos' pppshare (available at
! "http://www.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/msdos/pktdrvr/dosppp05.zip"; and
! "ftp://ftp.klos.com/demo/pppshare.exe";).
See "http://www.fdisk.com/doslynx/lynxport.htm"; for more hints and some
! precompiled libraries. If you compile lynx regularly, you may automate
! the procedure by creating a batch file such as the following.
cd djgpp\tcplib\obj
make

! Usage is "slip8250 0x60", but you may have to invoke it as, for example,
! "slip8250 0x60 6 3 0x2F8" so that it uses COM2 and IRQ 3, in order to
! avoid an IRQ conflict with a mouse or some other device. Another packet
! driver is slipper.exe, which is available from many sites, including
! "ftp://jazz.trumpet.com.au/slipper";. To remove it from memory use
! termin.com (usage "termin 0x60"), available in the CRYNWR package. To
! connect over a dialup PPP connection you need a package such as klos'

See "http://www.fdisk.com/doslynx/lynxport.htm"; for more hints and some
! precompiled libraries. One problem you can run into is when editing
! userdefs.h and lynx.cfg, which have unix-style end of lines. You would be
! well advised to use an editor that can handle end of lines terminated with
! a single LF character. You can also unpack the source code using unzip386
! or unzip with the -a switch to convert unix LF to dos CRLF. That will
make
! texts more readable under DOS. If you compile lynx regularly, you may
! automate the procedure by creating a batch file such as the following.
cd djgpp\tcplib\obj
make
