[OpenIndiana-discuss] Compiling Mosh for OI 151

Tue May 1 18:27:08 UTC 2012

got the server compiled with a combination of creating "forkpty" from
http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=22429, //ing out the stdin/out/err
declarations and removing -lutil from the Makefile ...

The server runs and sits in memory, it forced me to set my locale to
something  UTF-8, however something doesn't work. when I try to
connect with the client it fails.

since I don't have a mosh server readily available for testing I
cannot tell if it is the client or the server that I've borked getting
it to compile :)
