Description Ighighi 2007-06-10 11:20:00 UTC
www/lynx-ssl fails to compile with devel/ncurses installed.
The respective port versions as of this time of writing are:
lynx-ssl-2.8.6_5,1
ncurses-5.6_1

The error message is as follows:
+++++ BEGIN ERROR MESSAGE

+++++ END ERROR MESSAGE

A little inspection revealed to me that the configure mechanism in lynx is
accessing the /usr/local/include/ncurses/* files installed by devel/ncurses
as a side-effect of "-I/usr/local/include", as shown by a diff on the output
of "make configure" when devel/ncurses is available and unavailable, resp.

124c124
< checking for ncurses header in include-path... ncurses/ncurses.h
---
> checking for ncurses header in include-path... curses.h

It is worth noting that www/lynx-current builds perfectly, maybe because their
configure mechanism was corrected.

In my opinion there should be a knob in www/lynx* to allow optional linkage with
devel/ncurses, at least for www/lynx-current since the latter always tries to
use the version in ports first, unlike www/lynx and www/lynx-ssl, thus making
devel/ncurses a dependency.

Fix: The attached patch deletes the following line in /usr/ports/www/lynx-ssl/work/lynx2-8-6/config.hin

#undef HAVE_NCURSES_NCURSES_H  /* defined if we include <ncurses/ncurses.h> */

  Modified files:
    www/lynx             Makefile 
  Log:
  - Force lynx to pick up ncurses from base. This fixes build when
    1) devel/ncurses is installed, and 2) use OpenSSL from ports.
    In that case, lynx picks up ncurses/ncurses.h which is from ports
    and somehow it does not include term.h
