Hello all,

I've been trying to make other terminals than rxvt work without the X
server but without success yet... The problem of the rxvt that comes
with cygwin is that as the original rxvt it doesnt support special
charsets, and hence cant display correctly japanese characters, or
chinese characters, or russian, etc. The alternative under linux would
be to use either mlterm or rxvt-beta, mlterm being particularly useful
as it allows multiple encoding in a same term.

I compiled mlterm but here is the error i get when trying to start it:
<18:28:10> DeathWolf AT lafiel:~$ mlterm.exe
 display  couldn't be opened.
Unable to start - open_screen_intern() failed.

Rxvt-beta wont even compile, it looks like it needs X to compile even
if i force to disable it in ./configure(--disable-x):
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -g -O2 -DDEBUG_STRICT -I/usr/X11R6/include -I.. -I. -I. -c xdefaults.c -o xdefaults.o

make[1]: *** [xdefaults.lo] Error 1


So basicaly i havent been able to make any of the two work, and i was
wondering if anyone either did it already, or could give me some
help.

     Thank you a lot,
