Lynx now works after rolling back libncurses8 and terminfo.

Thank you.

Confirmed bug.  I've pulled the release.

Upstream has silently changed the API, but only for "broken linkers" --
in other words, if you are not ELF, you are "broken".  And apparently we
don't care about API compatibility for "broken" linkers.

It's not just cur_term. There are 43 symbols that were exported by
ncurses-5.5's cygncurses-8.dll but are missing from ncurses-5.7's
cygncurses-8 (with no changes in how the two packages were ./configured).

_nc_cap_hash_table
_nc_capalias_table
_nc_capcmp
_nc_captoinfo
_nc_check_termtype
_nc_check_termtype2
_nc_comment_end
_nc_comment_start
_nc_copy_entry
_nc_curr_file_pos
_nc_curr_token
_nc_disable_period
_nc_do_xmc_glitch
_nc_entry_match
_nc_find_entry
_nc_find_type_entry
_nc_get_hash_table
_nc_get_table
_nc_get_token
_nc_info_hash_table
_nc_infoalias_table
_nc_infotocap
_nc_init_entry
_nc_key_names
_nc_merge_entry
_nc_panic_mode
_nc_parse_entry
_nc_push_token
_nc_read_entry_source
_nc_reset_input
_nc_resolve_uses
_nc_resolve_uses2
_nc_save_str
_nc_set_writedir
_nc_slk_format
_nc_start_line
_nc_syntax
_nc_tic_expand
_nc_tic_written
_nc_trans_string
_nc_wrap_entry
_nc_write_entry
cur_term

Given that lack of consistency, I also worry if some existing symbols
have had their signatures changed. Sheesh.


OK. So, no problem: I'll just release ncurses-5.7-[2,11] with a dll
version bump to -9 (and a new libncurses9 package).  But how do I get
everyone's libncurses8 package back to the original API?

I guess I can modify libncurses8's setup.hint to explicitly declare that
the 5.5-3 version is current, thus superseding the bad -5.7-1 version...

I was really trying to avoid a DLL version bump with this release, but
it looks like that is not possible, due to poor API management upstream.

This also means that I must also roll back the terminfo database layout
change. Sigh.

Rolling back libncurses8 and terminfo to the previous release solves the 
problem for me. Recompiling lynx from source with the new libncurses8 
and terminfo packages also fixes the problem.

That didn't work, the 2008 mailing list post.  I still get the same
error code 57 and cygcheck is the same as the OP.

Is there anything else to check?  Appreciate the help.

lynx seems broken

2009-02-24 Thread Morten Kjærulff 
Hi,

On my machine#2 I just installed lynx, but it just exit without
telling anything. Then I went to my machine#1 where lynx was already
installed, and it worked fine. I then ran setup.exe and it installed a
little. After that, lynx just exit without telling anything.

I attach cygcheck.out1 which is taken before the upgrade on machine#1
and cygcheck.out2 which is taken after the upgrade.

Did I do anything wrong?

Cheers,
Morten
