Thanks Keith,
Yes, I "resolved" the problem by changing the default SSL option :/

Re: [Lynx-dev] help on lynx compilation

[clr . geek]

Hello to you three,

We spoke a few weeks ago about a compilation of Lynx, and this is behind now, 
great :)
I have a new problem concerning the ability of Lynx to interprete the braille 
media query :
In my CSS code, I have something like :
@media braille {
 #something{
  display:none;
 }
}
But it doesn't work ... would you know if there is a solution to hide some 
parts of an HTML document for a braille type media ?

Sorry to bother, and thanks if you have an idea ...
Christophe

if i am not mistaken that version tries to load lynx.isc.org which
does not resolve anymore

however, users should be able to type

lynx www.example.com

and see a page load, (assuming DNS and basic networking works)

I've been away from Lynx so long that I probably shouldn't be
participating on the list, but maybe it's a simple problem.
Do you have a "lynx.cfg" file where the binary expects to find it, and
is "STARTFILE" set to a valid URL?

...likewise, it's been a few years (I think) since anyone reported on
experience with djgpp.  I added a copy of the batch files which were
discssed a while back for pdcurses or slang.

Along those lines, you might find this topical:

sometime after 2010 for me (recalling which machine I used for development).

For windows, I'm using each of cygwin, mingw (native and cross), msys2 and 
visual studio.
The installers are built from the last.

You can still get the 5.5 version from their site.

Last time I built lynx for Win32 I used them.

OK, that was... a lng time ago ;)

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.

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

Re: [Lynx-dev] help on lynx compilation

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

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
