Great that this will be included in an official Cygwin screen package! The 256 colors mode is invaluable for people using Emacs in terminal mode: Emacs supports 256 colors, and code becomes a lot easier on the eye. By the way, I downloaded http://home.comcast.net/~andrex2/cygwin-1.5/screen/screen-4.0.3-3.tar.bz2 and tried it on Cygwin 1.5 with PuTTY (256 colors enabled): started screen plus Emacs, and it shows all 256 colors with M-x list-colors-display! Beautiful. Note that for Emacs to recognize screen-256color, you need to add the following into "term/screen-256color.el" in the load path (for Emacs 22): (defun terminal-init-screen () "Terminal initialization function for screen." ;; Use the xterm color initialization code. (load "term/xterm") (xterm-register-default-colors) (tty-set-up-initial-frame-faces)) -p -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Can%27t-compile-Screen%3A-Undefined-reference-to-__imp__ospeed-tp21660755p22103799.html Sent from the Cygwin list mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
