Hi there,

Looking to compile the software on windows, looking for directions. what compiler, do I need glib, etc. Looks like from the sourcecode below:

    if (tn5250_config_get(config, "outputcommand")) {
        len = strlen(tn5250_config_get(config, "outputcommand"));
        temp = g_malloc(len+1);
        strcpy(temp, tn5250_config_get(config, "outputcommand"));
        if (!strncasecmp(temp, "printer:", 8)) {
             strncpy(devname, &temp[8], MAXDEVNAME);
        }
        else if (!strncasecmp(temp, "file:", 5)) {
             strncpy(devname, &temp[5], MAXDEVNAME);
             isfile=1;
        }
        else {
             strncpy(devname, temp, MAXDEVNAME);
        }
        g_free(temp);
    }

Taken from lp5250d-win.c, that there is still no way to pipe print text to a command via outputcommand=command:"perl -e \"while (<>) {print $_}\"" Obviously all this would do is print text to a command prompt., but lets say I wanted to do something like have anything "printed" to this lp5250d instance be emailed to my cell phone, and have a msgq monitor. Yes I would like to use a unix box to handloe this, but If this were an IDEAL world I would be allowed to setup SMTP on all the as/400s at work and have the monitor program email me stuff via snddst or that IBm supplied freeware ezmailer.
