RE: [Lynx-dev] RE: Lynx 2.8.7 bug report - suppplemental

[RR - Rod Regier]

Hi Thomas.

Alas the "TCPIP" mode build still fails on 
OpenVMS/Alpha V8.3 and OpenVMS/I64 8.3-1H1,
as detailed in my original bug report.

I would speculate that the "TCPIP" build mode might have worked
on earlier version of OpenVMS with earlier versions of the
distributed C library (7.2?), but that is no longer the case by V8.3.

I have been forced to abandon attempting to build/workaround
LYNX 2.8.7 from scratch, and have reverted to using a
"AEST" binary translated copy of Lynx Version 2.8.4dev.14 (03 Nov 2000).

If you come up with a solution at some future date
I would be interested in hearing it.

Thank-you.

just reading the source, I'd expect types.h to be included via this chain:

HTString.c includes HTUtils.h
HTUtils.h includes www_tcp.h
www_tcp.h includes types.h (ifdef'd by TCPIP_SERVICES).
