Dear managers,
I recently installed v4.0B of Digital UNIX; now I'm trying to
reinstall/upgrade a lot of apps. We use lynx here (still lots of dumb
terminals and slow dialup lines) so I got lynx v2.7.1 from the Alpha
Freeware disk, got the patch suggested by a recent CERT advisory, and
tried to compile (I couldn't use the precompiled version because of the
CERT advisory). It failed like this:
cc -O -Olimit 4000 -DUNIX -DFANCY_CURSES -I../WWW/Library/Implementation
-DDIRED_SUPPORT -DOK_TAR -DOK_ZIP -DOK_GZIP -DOK_UUDECODE -DOK_OVERRIDE
-DOK_PERMIT -I.. -c LYCurses.c
cc: Error: LYCurses.c, line 404: Invalid declarator.
return(1);
----^
cc: Error: LYCurses.c, line 401: In the initializer for LYlines, "LINES" is
not constant, but occurs in a context that requires a constant expression.
LYlines = LINES;

PRIVATE int dumbterm PARAMS((char *terminal));

*** Exit 1
Stop.

I haven't got time to try to patch this; has anyone seen this problem
(and hopefully a fix)?
Larry
