GNU screen package ??

GNU screen package ??

[Tom Halser]

Hi everybody,

I would like suggest to include the GNU screen package to cygwin.
Unfortunatly it doesn't compile out of the box.... and terminfo is also
a delicate topic ... 
Can someone help?

Tom

See my message in the archive, the changes were trivial in order to get
it to work.  I'm not sure if there has been a new screen version since,
but IIRC, the maintainer said that he would be working my stuff in.

I haven't had need to screen in a while, so can't really answer too many
questions.

Hi,

Actually version 1.3.11 has been released and is available from the gnu
website.  I haven't check to see if your changes made it, though.  You
might want to check it out and see.  Probably a new release is in order
since the cygwin dll has gone through a multitude of changes since you
last compiled it.  Also, the author of screen should really considier
updating to a version of autoconf that isn't in the stone-age.

Cheers,
Nicholas

P.S. - I've been experimenting with configuration and am using the
following options:

./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
--enable-locale --enable-telnet --enable-colors256 --enable-rxvt_osc
--with-socket-dir=/var/tmp --with-sys-screenrc=/etc/screenrc
