lynx-dev Lynx and Cygwin

[Frédéric L. W. Meunier]

Hi. I installed the latest Cygwin release + their contributed Lynx some
weeks ago. Today I decided to compile the latest dev., like I do on
Linux. I had to download a few additional packages:

binutils, gcc, mingw-run, openssl (openssl-devel), w32api.

It compiled like on Linux. Not as fast, and I'm using NTFS. I used the
following options:

--disable-nls --with-ssl --with-screen=ncurses --disable bibp-urls
--disable-menu-options --enable-default-colors --enable-prettysrc
--enable-read-eta --enable-source-cache
--enable-cgi-links --enable-nsl-fork --disable-finger --disable-gopher
--disable-news
--disable-dired

Anything wrong with ncurses ?

checking for screen type... ncurses
checking for ncurses header in include-path... curses.h
checking for ncurses version... 5.2.20001021
checking for Gpm_Open in -lgpm... no
checking for initscr... no
checking for initscr in -lncurses... yes
checking for ncurses version... (cached) 5.2.20001021

Cygwin downloaded the following packages:

ncurses/ncurses-5.2-8.tar.bz2
ncurses/libncurses5/libncurses5-5.2-1.tar.bz2
ncurses/libncurses6/libncurses6-5.2-8.tar.bz2

Here's the binary linking:

What are those warnings ?

Maybe this isn't Lynx related, but I have 2 problems.

1- Home and End keys don't work.
2- No Input / Output for the following accents:

~ + a/o doesn't work
´ + A/I/U/O just display the letter. ´ + E displays É
The same for ` + A

About ncurses, what's the recommendation ? I always compiled Tom's
snapshots on Linux.
