For kicks, I got the *basic* C-Kermit to build under Linux and under Cygwin. https://github.com/gstrauss/ckermit The make command line options are in the commit messages. It is based on http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/archive.html C-Kermit 9.0.302 2011/07/11 cku302.tar.gz I realized afterwards that I should have used C-Kermit 9.0.305 Alpha.02. In any case, compiling is a first step, but does not suggest it is fully functional. Mostly #include and minor changes were needed, except for one big mess with the cygwin custom struct hostent being defined with const char *h_name Cheers, Glenn -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
