Compiling lynx

[davidbrit2]

I'm trying to get lynx built on 10.2, but after a while, a bunch of errors pop up:

It looks like some terminal I/O functions are undefined, but I've got ncurses installed. What am I missing?

 

[howardm4]

so where is the '-lncurses' on the
command line via the Makefile?

You need to call it out during the final
link phase. Just installing ncurses isn't
enough.

Well, I did the old routine: download fresh source package, run configure script, compile. It seemed to work that time. Weird...
