@wknight, I see this behavior as well. I think it is related to my choice of vi color scheme + vt100 16 color + gnu screen. Not sure which handle is screwing this up. Contact me at slestak989 – at – gm…l.com <– (you know the company) if you want to compare notes.

Following your instructions, I was able to compile putty, on the first try. in Ubuntu Jaunty,and it does look better. But I was hopping this would solve a problem I am having with putty since I installed Ubuntu Jaunty on my 64 bit laptop, and that is in putty’s terminal display, it seams as if my display is split in half horizontally, when I scroll lines of text disappear and reappear in the middle sometimes twice, if I use vi or some other application in the terminal, when I exit them the terminal only refreshes the upper half of the display. This might be a problem with some other component putty uses I am not sure. If someone could give me a hand it would be greatly appreciated.

For Ubuntu 8.10, don’t forget to also sudo apt-get install gcc-3.4 in addition to the previously mentioned sed script.

Great job.
To compile in ubuntu enter in unix directory and execute ‘cat Makefile.gtk |sed ‘s/)cc/)gcc-3.4/’>temp&&mv temp Makefile.gtk’ without quotes and don’t forget to install gcc-3.4
Cheers

@Whoopie
No, sorry. I haven’t the Debian/Redhat packaging abilities (as yet) to attempt to get it injected into the Ubuntu repositories.

For Ubuntu 8.10 I ended up opening Makefile.gtk and removing “-Werror” from the “CFLAGS = -O2 -Wall -Werror …” line

Then running make -f Makefile.gtk completes. The resulting binary seems to work fine.

Can’t compile on Ubuntu Interpid:

ks@ks-nb:~/svn/putty/unix$ make -f Makefile.gtk
cc -O2 -Wall -Werror -g -I.././ -I../charset/ -I../windows/ -I../unix/ -I../mac/ -I../macosx/ `sh -c ‘pkg-config gtk+-2.0 $0 2>/dev/null || gtk-config $0′ –cflags` -D _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 `krb5-config –cflags gssapi` -c ../logging.c
cc1: warnings being treated as errors
../logging.c: In function �logwrite�:
../logging.c:46: error: ignoring return value of �fwrite�, declared with attribute warn_unused_result
make: *** [logging.o] Error 1

Any suggestions?
