[OpenIndiana-discuss] Compiling Mosh for OI 151

[Bryan N Iotti]

I also tried to compile it, but couldn't get it to succeed...

I had to compile protobuf and ncurses first, then symlink 
libncursestw.so to libncurses.so otherwise it wouldn't find it, then it 
appeared to work away for a while, only to crash miserably on a missing 
"," or "." in network.h. Undeclared __STRING was the last error.

I'll look into it again in a couple of days, might be an easy fix.
