I fairly regularly build development releases on z/OS; most recently
Lynx 2.8.6dev.13 (07 Jun 2005). (I guess I'm the perpetrator of
the OS/390 port.)

I'm reposting the jobs, since I received them as unnamed attachments.
I'm pretty sure I identified them correctly. (I edited some control
characters in LYNXFTP).

Very unlikely to happen because there is no 3270 support for curses.

lexx and yacc shouldn't be necessary. I always build into separate
target directories, so gmake is essential to me; IBM's make doesn't
support VPATH.

That shouldn't be necessary; gmake sets MAKE to the path by which
it was called. (Or have you an example to the contrary?)

This comes out of "configure". I have not had this problem. stdout
from configure tells me, "checking for wattr_get... yes"

For my configure, I use (perhaps extravagantly):
cd ../OS390 &&
rm -f config.cache
cd ../OS390 &&
{ PATH=/mvsoeecc/tools/bin:/pub/unsup/.arch/390OE/bin:/bin:\
/usr/sbin:/mvsoeecc/sppg/bin \
_BPX_SHAREAS=YES \
time ../src/configure \
--enable-cgi-links \
--prefix=/mvsoeecc/tools
} 2>&1 | tee figlog &

I use "TERM=xterm-xfree86". But you need to build that. Mostly
I build xterm on Solaris and rlogin to z/OS.
I avoid batch whenever possible; I build in a linemode POSIX
shell. But I have a massive cheat sheet and build by cutting
and pasting with mouse onto Unix command line.

Thanks for sharing. Do I need to update the OS/390 instructions
(even if only to say "z/OS") from the version at:
Linkname: ./docs/OS-390.announce
