Re: LYNX-DEV IBM RS/6000 compiling problem

[Doug Kaufman]

I sent the substance of the following to lynx-dev on 26 May 1997, but
it didn't seem to make it to the archive, probably because I wasn't
subscribed to the list. My apologies if anyone got a double posting.
I compiled lynx 2-7-1 with Fote's latest modifications and with wais
capability on an aix32 system on 25 May 1997. It seems to be working
fine.

I believe that this is fixed when you use gcc rather than cc. However
the AIX make utility doesn't change to gcc, even when CC=gcc is in the
environment. In order to get lynx to compile I had to put a "cc" that
pointed to "gcc" in my path ahead of the standard "cc". I used a shell
script, but a link ought to work better. I suspect that GNU make might
also work, but I didn't try it.
