I'm going to try to build and package screen for Cygwin. It's such a useful program, I just have to try.
screen 4.0.2 won't compile OOTB in Cygwin: gcc -c -I. -I. -g -O2 misc.c misc.c: In function `xsetenv': misc.c:619: error: too few arguments to function `setenv' make: *** [misc.o] Error 1 I haven't looked into trying to fix this yet, it may be quite simple. There are many references to a binary of screen 4.0.2 compiled for Cygwin, and a corresponding patch, available at http://www.fredlwm.hpg.ig.com.br/cygwin/screen/. But that page has gone dark, and I can't find a cached copy of it anywhere. If someone has the patch that was provided there, I'd appreciate it if you'd pass it along. If anyone else has tried and failed to build or package screen for Cygwin, or if you know anything else about the feasibility of this little project, I'd appreciate hearing from you. Andrew.
