From: vischne AT ibm DOT net (Victor Schneider) Subject: Getting lynx.exe to compile _and_ _work_ from cygwin 21 Oct 1997 17:06:29 -0700 Message-ID: <1.5.4.16.19971021182654.2647ad0c.cygnus.gnu-win32@pop1.ibm.net> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" To: gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com One plausible reason why lynx.exe won't work after being configured and compiled under b18 cygwin32 is that the winsocket.dll initialization function isn't called from lynx. If you define `_WINDOWS' in lynx/src/LYMain.c and define the structures used by the LYMain.c Windows initialization call at the top of the file, you discover that it won't link the extra functions, even though libwsock32.a has the named functions. The reason that you don't want to include in LYMain.c is that the file is so badly written that it redefines and redeclares basic types over and over again during the inclusion of miscellaneous files from , , and . Of course, then the question is how other winsocket users, like the slrn news reader, manage to operate without initializing the winsocket.dll. - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
