lynx-dev Compiling Lynx 2.8rel.2

[Chris Maden]

I'm trying to compile Lynx 2.8 on two systems:

SunOS rosetta-stone 5.6 Generic sun4u sparc
SunOS ivory 5.4 generic sun4c sparc

I used

configure --enable-8bit-toupper --enable-color-style
--enable-default-colors --enable-externs --enable-nsl-fork
--enable-warnings --with-zlib

on both systems and made minor changes to other configuration files.
(The only substantive ones were -lresolv and including WAIS.)  I've
compiled Lynx 2.6, 2.7, 2.7.1, and 2.7.2 without any problems; but
this is giving me a headache.

On rosetta (the Solaris 2.6 system), the compile fails when it tries
to link the executable:

make[1]: *** [lynx] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/crism/src/lynx2-8/src'
make: *** [all] Error 2

Now, mousemask is an ncurses function, used only if
NCURSES_MOUSE_VERSION is defined.  Since I didn't ask for ncurses, I'm
not sure why this would happen; in any case, I can't think of a
circumstance under which NCURSES_MOUSE_VERSION would be defined but
mousemask would be unavailable.  Any help on this one?

On ivory, the Solaris 2.4 system, the compile and install are
successful, but:

ivory-6> lynx
Floating exception (core dumped)

I have no idea what's going wrong here.  I can recompile with -g (I
think) if it's useful, but I was hoping someone here would have a
suggestion to try first.

Please copy me on replies, as I no longer read lynx-dev.  I can send
any files or diffs that anyone thinks would be useful.

Thanks in advance,
Chris
