to quote INSTALLATION (2-8-3dev.14):

I. General configuration instructions (all ports).

Step 1. (define compile-time variables  -- See the userdefs.h file.)
                                           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    There are a few variables that MUST be defined, or Lynx will not build.

    There are a few more that you will probably want to change.  The variables
                                                                 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    that must be changed are marked as such in the userdefs.h file.  Just edit
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^   ^^^^^^^^^

    not absolutely have to edit userdefs.h.  Many of the variables are now
        ??????????                           ^^^^
    configurable in the lynx.cfg file, so you may set them at run-time if you
    wish.  

time somebody did an update patch?
