To avoid this, is is necessary to recompile rxvt, passing the -mwindows option to gcc during the link step When configuring rxvt, I used the following command: ./configure --x-includes='$(basedir)/W11' --x-libraries='$(basedir)/W11/lib' --enable-mousewheel The X stuff seems to be necessary, although it is a bit silly that it is needed. I them added -mwindows to LDFLAGS in src/Makefile Max. -- Want to unsubscribe from this list? Check out: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
