lynx-dev Problems with lynx 2-8-2 dev 21 for VMS

[Andy Harper]

A few problems have surfaced with the latest lynx development kit 2.8.2 dev 21
when building for OpenVMS 6.2 using DEC C and the SOCKETSHR library.

[.WWW.LIBRARY.IMPLEMENTATION]HTTCP.C
This module generates one error and a warning. The error is fixed by REMOVING
the duff line altogether since it's not needed....

[.SRC]LYCLEAN.C

No prior declaration of HTConfirmDefault leads to a warning only....

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[.SRC]LYCURSES.C

No declaration of signal leads to a warning ...


CC/decc/Prefix=All/NoMember/Define=(ACCESS_AUTH,SOCKETSHR_TCP,__VMS_CURSES)
/NOLIST/OBJECT=LYCURSES.OBJ/Include=([], [-], 
[.chrtrans],[-.WWW.Library.Implementa

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[.SRC]LYPRINT.C

Mismatched type of Define_VMSLogical leads to a warning ...


CC/decc/Prefix=All/NoMember/Define=(ACCESS_AUTH,SOCKETSHR_TCP,__VMS_CURSES)
/NOLIST/OBJECT=LYPRINT.OBJ/Include=([], [-],

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[.SRC]LYUTILS.C
This one is missing a semicolon character immediately before the indicated
line. The lack of a definition for the DISP_PARTIAL symbol is the cause. If
defined, the switch statement is correct. If not defined, then the error
occurs.


CC/decc/Prefix=All/NoMember/Define=(ACCESS_AUTH,SOCKETSHR_TCP,__VMS_CURSES)
/NOLIST/OBJECT=LYUTILS.OBJ/Include=([], [-], [.chrtrans],

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Miscellaneous...

The header files for UCDOMAP.C are not built automatically via the MMS/MMS
descrip.MMS files and ought to be included. However, running build-chrtrans.com
manually does work if it's done before the MMS/MMK command.

Running Lynx, entering the K command and selecting 'help on current keymap'
leads to a link that doesn't exist:
  file://localhost/keystrokes/keystroke_help.html

It seems to be missing the /lynx_root/lynx_help/  path prefix and I can find
nothing in lynx.cfg to configure this.  Any suggestions welcomed...

However, accessing it through the H command and then 'keystroke commands' does
work.
