Except for a dirty-but-effective hack to add LDFLAGS in /ac_link=/ lines in configure (least patch lines approach, changing the m4 macro and then autoreconfiguring would generate a HUGE one), it compiles and works perfectly.

Pinfo is similar in use to lynx. It has similar key movements, and gives similar intuition. You just move across info nodes, and select links, follow them... Well, you know how it is when you view html with lynx. :) It supports as many colors, as it could. Pinfo also supports viewing of manual pages -- they're colorised like in the midnight commander's viewer, and additionaly they are hypertextualized (i.e. when pinfo encounters a reference of form manualname (n), then you can press enter there, and voila -- you're on the page for `manualname'. Keyboard and colors are fully configurable. Pinfo supports URL's embedded into info documents and man pages. To be precise, supported URL's are mailto, ftp, http." category: Doc requires: cygwin libiconv2 libintl2 libncurses7 man texinfo -- Lapo Luchini [EMAIL PROTECTED] (OpenPGP & X.509) www.lapo.it (Jabber, ICQ, MSN)
