LYNX-DEV core dump

[Clyde Hoadley]

I am having trouble building lynx 2.7.1  I am on a DEC Alpha 2100 
running DU4.0b.  We are using the "advfs" file system.  I am using the
Dec C compiler, invoked with the "cc" command.  I run the build
with "make osf".

The first problem I have is, I get a warning message from the compiler
when compiling the GridText.c module.

GridText
.c
cc: Warning: GridText.c, line 799: In this statement, the referenced 
type of the pointer value "tmp" is "unsigned char", which is not
compatible with "signed char".
            title = tmp;
------------^
---------------------------------------------------------------------

The second problem I have is, I get an Error message when compiling
LYCurses.c.  I can eliminate this error by adding -DNO_TTYTYPE to
the makefile for "osf".  But, I'm not sure this is right.

Finally, I get this message when compiling UCAuto.c

  -c UCAuto.c
cc: Warning: UCAuto.c, line 221: Source file does not contain any
declarations.
#endif /* EXP_CHARTRANS */
--------------------------^
------------------------------------------------------------------------

When I try to run lynx, I get a Memoryfault(core dump).  I have tried
modifying line 799 of GridText.c to read "title = (char *)tmp;" but,
I still get a core dump.  I don't think it's coming from GridText
anyway.  What do you suggest I do next?
