Thanks.

Not much luck currently.
I had to create W11/lib, otherwise:

install -c -m 0664 libXpm.a ../../lib
cd ../../lib; ranlib libXpm.a
/bin/sh.exe: cd: ../../lib: Not a directory
                       ^^^^^^
Maybe you should "cvs add msys\packages\rxvt\2.7.2\W11\lib"
to create an empty lib dir.

Haha, no -mwin32 switch?

No luck :)
I heard about -mwin32 but can't remember what it is for.

Go ahead and do that.

It just makes sure that _WIN32 and friends are defined, so replacing it 
with -D_WIN32 -DWIN32 should be enough.

It works fine, thanks.
OTOH, I noticed that rxvt.exe/libW11.dll are not built with debug symbols,
It seems that the distributed binaries have debug symbols.

Just curious to know how the distributed binaries were built.
Mine don't have the MSYS' icon, for example.

Also, the current CVS version for rxvt is 2.7.9.
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/rxvt/)
Maybe, the resizing bug was fixed since version 2.7.2.
Just an idea. If I search an already fixed bug, I'm an idiot.

Very maticulously. ;)  And once built, well they've not changed so 
there's no need to rebuild them.  I tend to specify the CFLAGS at make 
execution but that might not help with this package depending on how 
standard it is.  BTW, the .ico files embedded in the DLL aren't used, 
AFAIR, so fat could be trimmed.

Thanks for pointing that out.  I'll have to upload them.

I used an older version from Cygwin.  I know that this version does what 
I need and I know that some other versions from Cygwin didn't exactly do 
what I expected or wanted.  You can check for differences, we can 
discuss them here.

I don't know what you expect and want, but couldn't find something harmful
in doc/changes.txt.

On the contrary, something interesting:
2.7.5 to 2.7.6
\-----------------------------------
 changed internal handling of window size calculation
 changed internal handling of window size and placement manipulation

OTOH, "updated libtool for configure" seems problematic, I had to edit
src/Makefile to get src/rxvt.exe.

Anyway, sh no longer hang with rxvt 2.7.9-2 :)

Ok, I'll take a look at 2.7.9-2 next week.  Thanks for checking.

Wait a minute! I have some diffs, please cf the attachment.

rxvt was:
http://mirrors.sunsite.dk/cygwin/release/rxvt/rxvt-2.7.9-2-src.tar.bz2

I configured with:
./configure  --prefix=/usr --enable-rxvt-scroll

src/Makefile.in should be patched, otherwise rxvt.exe doesn't link.
(don't know why)

To get a binary, I quickly edited src/Makefile:
rxvt: version.h rxvt.o librxvt.la
    $(LIBTOOL) --mode=link $(LINK) rxvt.o librxvt.la $(LIBS) $(XLIB) $(DLIB) -o $@

Replaced with:
rxvt: version.h $(OBJS)
    $(CC) $(LDFLAGS) -o $@ $(OBJS) $(LIBS) $(XLIB) $(DLIB)
 
Please, cf src-makefile.diff.

I continue the tests. I had a strange behavior, BTW.
While run from MSYS Here, when I rebuilt diffutils, I saw all
DirtyOS boxes showing up and disappearing, during configuration
and building. Each time a command line software was invoked.
Strange.
