Hello, Lyncei,
I like the idea of making lynx-site.txt available on the Information
Page; I've frequently wished for something like this. A couple
glitches, however:
It appears that lynx_cfg.h tries to find lynx-site.txt in $(helpdir)
whereas makefile installs it in $(libdir). I'd favor helpdir over
libdir to avoid directory clutter at the libdir level. So, I changed
makefile to install lynx-site.txt in helpdir where lynx expects it.
This sort of works. Unfortunately, the "install" target installs
lynx-site.txt, only to have it obliterated when I do an install-help.
I must then do an explicit install-log to reinstall it.
I'd suggest:
o Change the install path in makefile[.in] to $(helpdir)/lynx-site.txt.
o Eliminate the separate install-log target; simply install
lynx-site.txt as part of install-help.
o Remove the "@" from the install-log command. I'm uncomfortable
when "make" completes silently, however successfully. It's partly
cultural: people expect make to be fairly chatty relative to other
UNIX commands.
Want a patch?
