Re: [Lynx-dev] latest mac edition of Lynx?

[Travis Siegel]

Been a while since I had a working mac, but last time I did, compiling 
one from source was trivial, and caused no issues. (this is almost 
always how I handle opensource software), especially since on mac, the 
macports they have that is supposed to make things easier trashed my 
machine once, so I will never use that particular cludge again.  On the 
other hand, the lynx download page does have various versions, though I 
don't know if there's one there for mac or not.

As far as putting it into a section on the finder menus, that's easy 
enough (assuming it hasn't changed), just use root access to copy the 
program to the folder in question, and problem solved. On the other 
hand, since it's a terminal program, you may need to create a script to 
launch it with the particular environment you want, as I'm not sure if 
it picks up the terminal defaults when being launched from finder.

Probably doesn't answer the question, but it may give enough for the 
original poster to figure out what's necessary.
