LYNX-DEV Porting lynx 2.7 to NetBSD 1.2

[Marc Baudoin]

Hi,

I've just compiled lynx 2.7 on my NetBSD 1.2 box and I have some comments
about the NetBSD section.

First, you should use gcc to compile it instead of cc so it would use a
newer gcc if it's installed or the system's compiler (/usr/bin/gcc is the
same as /usr/bin/cc) if it's not.

Second, ncurses is not bundled with NetBSD so you shouldn't use
-I/usr/include/ncurses in the Makefile.  Anyway, recent ncurses (I use
1.9.9e) don't put their include files in /usr/local/include/ncurses
anymore.  Instead, they put curses.h in /usr/local/include directly.  The
src/LYCurses.h has to be changed also.

Here's the patch I've made.  Consider applying it for the next pre release
of lynx 2.7 :-)
