Harold, Didn't you mean the last command to be 'xterm-186-1.sh build'? Also, this will only work if a) you unpack xterm-186.tar.gz by hand prior to running the commands, and b) you have "." in your ${PATH} (but those are nitpicks and easy to figure out). > You'll quickly note that 'X.Org Foundation' is somehow > getting into CFLAGS as a raw string, causing gcc to bork.

I just built xterm.exe (and resize.exe) with no errors using the above recipe. Did I, by chance, grab the wrong source tarball? I got the one from <http://dickey.his.com/xterm/xterm.html> (direct link: <ftp://invisible-island.net/xterm/xterm.tar.gz>). FWIW, that tarball contains no occurrences of "X.Org" anywhere. Also, if it matters, I used xterm-185-4.sh. However, with the CVS version I did get a "too many decimal points in a number" error. I suspect it's a quoting issue -- XVERSION should have been defined as a string, and it was missing the quotes. An extra level of shell invocation probably stripped them out.
