well, when I have the time (at work, that is), and think we've gotten
to a milestone where I'll be wanting to install newer copies of lynx,
I run a build script for each of the platforms we have, which goes through
the combinations of compiler and libraries which I've available. There's
usually one or two of the 30-odd combinations that has to be tweaked.
I looked at SunOS (K&R cc) on Monday, didn't have time to finish tweaking
it (snow on Wednesday, out sick on Friday), but that was the only one I
saw broken.
between times, I build on Linux, OS/2 (EMX), FreeBSD and Solaris.
(before checking in code on sol, I run through a build with gcc against
curses, ncurses, slang, and also color-style against the first two).
but I'll miss some (that's what we should pick up during pre-release,
rather than having everyone pop out with their favorite feature ;-).
