Has anyone else managed to get ncurses' gpm support to work with lynx? That is, proper mouse support for lynx navigation, not just gpm copy-and-paste. I know that the default libncurses5 package doesn't come with gpm support, but even after recompiling it --with-gpm, lynx won't behave as I'd expect (mouse support in an xterm is fine, though).
There are two problems: 1) the handling of SIGTSTP. This has been explained at http://www.flora.org/lynx-dev/html/month041999/msg00732.html , and causes lynx to exit after ^Z and fg. I followed the advice given in that link, and changed 2 lines in the gpm source to set the SA_RESTART flag in gpm's sig handler, and this problem goes away. 2) mouse events aren't handled until the next time a key is pressed. I've had a look with gdb, and I can't really understand all the function calls going on, but the problem seems to be within ncurses' handling of wgetch() . I haven't a clue how to go about fixing the second, so I thought I'd ask here in case anyone else has encountered, or even fixed, the problem, and failing that, I'll try upstream. My system's Woody, so that's gpm-1.9.6-12 ncurses_5.2.20020112a-7 lynx-ssl_2.8.4.1b-3 Glyn -- Computers are geek toys.
