[Lynx-dev] Make Lynx HELP

[pfourier]

Hi,
Has anyone built Lynx using 'code::blocks'/'mingw' from:

http://www.codeblocks.org

Here is all the Lynx readme provided:

Lynx Source-code Compile instructions -- Win32 (Windows95/98/NT)

Borland C:
The original Win32 port was built with Borland C++ 4.52, but later
versions reportedly can be used. Before compiling the Lynx sources, you
need a curses library, and it is recommended that you have the zlib
library. Get pdcurses2.3 from "http://pdcurses.sourceforge.net/";. I
have modified it so that mouse support is no longer broken for Lynx (see
"http://www.fdisk.com/doslynx/";). You will want to get zlib from
"http://www.zlib.net/ ". Compile these libraries, and
put them in a convenient place (pdcurses inside the Lynx directory).
Unpack the latest Lynx source distribution, and make an obj directory
under the source root to contain the compile output. Copy in your
IDE file. A sample IDE file and helper libraries are available at
"http://www.fdisk.com/doslynx/wlynx/source/";.
First build the .h files in src\chrtrans using "makew32.bat". Double
check for new .tbl files; hand edit in any new ones, and then do "makew32".
Jump into Borland C++, load the project (IDE file) and compile Lynx.
Alternately, after compiling the chartrans tables, you can come back to
the top directory and compile manually, i.e., do "make -f makefile.bcb".
I also have a binary available at "http://www.fdisk.com/doslynx/";. This
binary was compiled with pdcurses 2.3, hacked so win32 mouse support works,
and with zlib, so Lynx can do gzip routines internally. More hints and
information can be found in "http://www.fdisk.com/doslynx/lynxport.htm";.

Cygwin:
It is possible to compile under the cygwin system, which will allow you to
use the configure script described above for Unix. Type, for example,
"./configure --with-screen=ncurses --with-libz" in a Dos window running the
cygwin bash$ shell. You also have the choice of using either pdcurses or
slang. You will need a launch program such as sh.exe to call helper
applications. Paths may need to be in cygwin style, rather than Windows
style (e.g., TMPDIR=/cygdrive/d/cygwin/tmp, rather than
Page 21
TMPDIR=d:\cygwin\tmp).

Visual C++:
You must have compiled zlib and PDCurses with the -MT (threaded code)
option. This is not the default with zlib (see Makefile.msc).
Copy into lib the following
zconf.h
zlib.h
zlib.lib
from the zlib build-tree, and
curses.h
pdcurses.lib
from the PDCurses build-tree.
Then
make-msc
to build lynx.

@echo Windows/Dos batch makefile for MingW32 and lynx.exe
@echo Remember to precede this by "command /E:8192" for Windows prior to
@echo W2000 and "cmd.exe /E:8192" for subsequent Window versions and to
@echo set the MingW32 C_INCLUDE_PATH and %C_INCLUDE_PATH%..\..\bin paths
@echo.
@echo Usage: makelynx [option]
@echo Default option: all
@echo Specifying "src" causes the libwww code to be skipped.
@echo Specifying "link" causes the batch file to skip to the final
@echo linking phase.
@echo.
@echo Note that you have to edit early versions of i386-mingw32\include\stdlib.h
@echo to put an "#ifndef WIN_EX" around the declaration for `sleep', or the
@echo compile won't work.  There is also an "#ifndef PDCURSES" around
@echo the declaration for `beep' for the same reason.
@echo.
@echo To change the console library from libpdcurses to libslang,
@echo put a "rem" before the `SET LIBRARY' line below.
@echo.
@echo If you don't have libz.a, either compile it
@echo or put a "rem" in front of the following USE_ZLIB line.
@echo This will cause the gzip.exe version of lynx
@echo to be compiled.  It doesn't work well at present:

SET LIBRARY=PDCURSES
SET USE_ZLIB=YES

rem Uncomment these lines if the slang/curses headers and libraries
rem are in the top-level lib directory:
rem set C_INCLUDE_PATH=..\lib;..\..\..\lib;%C_INCLUDE_PATH%
rem set LIBRARY_PATH=..\lib;..\..\..\lib;%LIBRARY_PATH%

echo Your compiler may not support -march=pentiumpro.
echo In that case, replace -march=pentiumpro with -mpentium or -m486 or nothing:

if "%OS%" == "Windows_NT" goto then0
rem command.com doesn't handle the 'a=b' option
set CC=gcc -mpentium
goto else0
:then0
rem assumes a cmd.exe, rather than command.com, environment
set CC=gcc -march=pentiumpro -mthreads
:else0


rem These definitions come from the Microsoft.msc makefile, with some
rem modification.  Note that -Dx=y didn't work in older versions
rem of Windows batch files, only -Dx, so a lynx_cfg.h was needed as
rem a workaround.
