Actually Borland's last freely-available compiler was 5.51, and not long
after that, they sold their software tools to Emarcadero.  Either way,
a newer compiler costs $$.

I'd simply remove those older makefiles, but there are probably 2-3
people who still use them.

not exactly - as I recall it that's an XHTML feature.
(if you'd like to add to the XHTML support in Lynx, a short patch would be 
nice).

See this for example

I forgot to say that I tried to install the 2.8.8 rel.1 version from the win32 
installer I found here :http://invisible-island.net/lynx/
but when I start Lynx, I have a stealthy message : "Alert!: Unable to connect to 
remote host." and the window disappears ...


I guess that you have no valid certificate for that webpage. If you 
start Lynx with no URL and feed it the URL you for longer will see the 
error message.

Hello again,

I found a solution !
I installed the SSL libraries, then the 2.8.9dev17 => I finally had a version 
that ran ... but I still had the problem of answering 'yes' each time the SSL 
file was needed.
Then I went in the options and "forced yes" ... so, I still see the question 
asked, that takes a little time, but at least, it works !
I don't know what would be the best way to make the information accessible to 
users, but I 'm quite sure it would be usefull :-)
Well, sorry to bother, have a good day
Christophe

[Lynx-dev] help on lynx compilation

[clr . geek]

Hello,
I'm not used to using Lynx web browser but, a friend of mine, who is blind, 
used it frequently. (windows 7 environment)
The trouble is, his version doesn't work easily with httpS sites.
 As it is the future of web, he asked me if I could install a version that 
would solve this problem.
So I tried to compile the 2.8.8 rel.2, following the explanations here : 
http://lynx.invisible-island.net/release/breakout/INSTALLATION
But, the version of Borland C++ compiler has been upgraded from 5.51 to 101 ... 
and it seems that the makefiles (makew32, makefile.bcb, makehdrs, makeuctb.c 
...) of the lynx architecture use old commands and options so the compilation 
of chrtrans doesn't work ...
I am aware of bothering you :/ but I would appreciate very much if you could 
help.
Best regards,
Christophe
