Details
Description:
Current lynx build configuration does not allow to use external programs. Key-stroke commands "." and "," do not work. It's especially useful for viewing image/video/docs content. Solution to this - simply add "--enable-externs" configure build option in PKGBUILD. Successfully tested. Additional info: lynx-2.8.8-4 Steps to reproduce: 1) Configure lynx to use external program. Add some dummy stuff like "EXTERNAL:https:xterm:TRUE" to /etc/lynx.cfg. In theory should launch xterm when trying to run external program in lynx. 2) Launch lynx. Open any web page. 3) Press "." key. If xterm is installed and did not show up, it means that lynx wasn't built with "--enable-externs" option. |

I was about to submit a bug report about this exact problem and
saw that there already was one. This definitely needs to fixed.
I cannot reproduce the issue. Is it still valid for you?
@mattia Yes this is still applicable. I am manually compiling the
package with --enable-externs for now.
