How do I build Putty from source?

[blueskyredkite]

I'll admit to being confused.

Does the linux box running the xterm "work" or does it still have the funny accented characters?

It does work, no funny characters either.

If xterm running vt220 emulation works, you should be home free on the Macs, just do exactly the same as that, including setting all the environment variables.

Do you mean for me to use X11? That's what I'm doing just now, it works but it's not the most elegant of solutions. I could look at X11 further and, perhaps, see if I can find a way of having an "X session" icon that launches X, with no other applications (it starts an xterm by default), then starts an ssh connection which, in turn, starts the remote application and opens it on the Mac.

Time isn't on my side at the moment. The staff are going to have to use the work-arounds for now as it's company Year End today - stock-take time! Woo hooo.... mmmm .... and all the other stuff that goes with it... no fun for me then.

If it doesn't you'll need either the font workaround I suggested or putty (or some other SCO ANSI terminal emulator) on your Mac.

I've tried it with the font and the Mac Terminal. Can't persuade it to work at all, the terminal lacks much in the way of emulation settings. WRT Putty, I've not managed to progress with this because I've been unable to find libgtk for OS X. If you can point me to one of those I Putty should compile fine.

Anyway, thanks for all the replies.

go get fink and install it. once that's finished, go to the command-line and type "apt-get install libgtk". i think that might work since i don't have my mac handy to try it out.

ssh through school network???

Ok, I don't really know much about what Im doing here but If anyone has any ideas PLEASE HELP! I'm at college with extremely blocked internet! I can't get on Facebook or even check my regular email!!! Yes, this is COLLEGE. not only that but they have a new rule this year that you can't bring your computer off campus! anyway, I was wondering if anyone know a way or could help me find a way to access the real internet? (btw, proxy sites don't work because, by default, all websites are blocked you must send a request and get it approved). I really need to find a way to keep in touch with my friends at home.

Ok the proxy setting are something like this:
FTP "proxy labproxy.pcci.edu" port 8080

Web proxy (http) "labproxy.pcci.edu" port 8080

secure web proxy (https) "labproxy.pcci.edu" port 8080

bypass proxy settings for these hosts and domains: "wlan.pcci.edu"

PLEASE HELP!!!
