Hi Thanks for mrxvt! I use it all the time.
I am not a developer or even a coder, I just wanted to note this somewhere: On 32 bit cygwin (on Windows 7) I got a clean compile with no problems at all, once the various package dependencies were met. On a 64 bit machine with much the same lot of packages installed (still cygwin on Windows 7) I kept getting an error. It may be due to some funny business in my cygwin install, but I could not figure out what that might be -- I made the two installations as similar as I knew how. But still I got this: >checking size of short... configure: error: cannot compute sizeof (short) >See `config.log' for more details. and I could not figure out what was wrong nor did a websearch find an answer. Eventually, I decided the problem was with the mechanism that the configure script was using to determine the lengths of the types (INT, LONG, SHORT, etc). So I ran a few tests to find out the ones I needed, then hardwired these answers into configure. My modified configure is available for download at djg.4t.com ; grep for 888 in configure_hardwired to find modified lines. So the following commands interrogate cpp and it spits out various data type sizes. I can’t say I tested the results really throughly, but I can say mrxvt compiled and I can use it now. $ echo __SIZEOF_SHORT__ | cpp | tail -1 2 $ echo __SIZEOF_INT__ | cpp | tail -1 4 $ echo __SIZEOF_LONG__ | cpp | tail -1 8 $ echo __SIZEOF_POINTER__ | cpp | tail -1 8 $ echo __SIZEOF_LONG_LONG__ | cpp | tail -1 8 OK, then I could run ./configure --enable-everything --disable-debug and it worked. It's a complete manual kludge. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming The Go Parallel Website, sponsored by Intel and developed in partnership with Slashdot Media, is your hub for all things parallel software development, from weekly thought leadership blogs to news, videos, case studies, tutorials and more.
