Screen for sco 6.0

Is there a screen or tmux like util for sco 6.0?

Did someone complies screen succesfully?

Not to my knowledge. There have been multiport serial cards that had tmux built in, but I don't think any are available. Unless you are using a serial connection, you can just log in using putty, or whatever as many times as you like, until you reach the user license limit. Old tmux connections still used a user license for each session if you are thinking that tmux will bypass the licensing.

If you have the OpenServer 6 development system installed (gcc, make, ncurses), there is a good chance of compiling screen with minor fixes.

Did you try it?

What development environment do you have on the OSR6 box now?

  • native SCO cc
  • gcc 3.x
  • gcc 4.x
  • Xinuos open source packages

Have you compiled other binaries on your SCO host?

I downloaded the current version screen-5.0.1, and ran configure using the gcc 7.3.0, which is the latest version available for SCO, and so far the only error I have is "openpty()" not available.
