After some tinkering I found the answers to my question. It turns out to
not be a compiling issue, but a xrdb issue. When using Henri's xt5250
script it calls 'xrdb /usr/share/tn5250/xt5250.keys' which tells X to use
those settings instead of those in ~/.Xdefaults. When it did that it also
got rid of some Mandrake default settings in ~/.Xdefaults such as scroll
bar on and underLine off. I noticed this when I could no longer page down
in x3270 using PgDown. So I just commented out the call to xrdb in xt5250
and tweaks some settings in ~/.Xdefaults and all is grand.

Subject:  compiling options




This is mainly aimed at Henri Gomez since he makes the RPMs, but I thought
others might be interested as well in his answer.

When I compile tn5250-0.14.1 myself and when I run it I have to specify -u
in order to see the field lines at all. What are the compiling options you
do when you make the RPMs?
