Unless I'm missing it somehow, is there an rxvt/urxvt terminal port for piCore?
I tried looking for sources to compile myself, but I'm never really sure if I'm finding the latest version, or if there is a problem with it on ARM?
And not being the sharpest tool in the shed, the stuff I do build ends up too big usually with make defconfigs, not knowing which stuff to leave in or out.
Sure would appreciate it if anyone has a round-to-it handy. :)

Here's a link to a build script that works on x86 and x86_64. You might need to check the dependency names as those are not always consistent between platforms, and the compiler flags.

Here's a link to the source:
http://dist.schmorp.de/rxvt-unicode/rxvt-unicode-9.22.tar.bz2 (http://dist.schmorp.de/rxvt-unicode/rxvt-unicode-9.22.tar.bz2)
I found some xft patches that I'm trying out for x86_64 to fix some unicode rendering problems. Let me know if you want to try those out and I'll bundle them up.

Thanks Andy! That's really helpful.
I'll give them a shot. I'm getting a Pi3 tomorrow, so if it takes too long on a pi2 I'll let you know. :)
This will help dust off some cobwebs - I'm mostly a configure / make / make install kind of guy with little experience standing on the shoulders of others.
The last time I got heavily into this was compiling kernels on Crux Linux for PPC many moons ago. Hope I haven't forgotten too much.
I'll let you guys know how it goes..

Ugh - think I'll have to leave this to the professionals. Although I used to do this 12 years ago, I think I had a mental head crash somewhere in there. :)
On the pi, for some reason I borked my system to the point that it won't grab all the dependencies of the compile environment like compiletc.tcz, so I tried to do it manually from the apps-list listing. Make doesn't dig it.
Tried cross compiling on the X86 box, and it too was throwing up errors.
I'll figure out what I did wrong, but want to thank you again for the source and build script. A year from now I'll probably laugh at my errors, but for now I'll leave it in the hands of the more experienced crew....

Thank you so much!
Works great. Even better after a little configuration for my tastes.
Local issues I need to figure out: Download from Apps gui indicated a failure for default OnBoot. But it was indeed in the system, so I had to use tce-load -i rxvt.tcz to load it and manually afterwards and also add it to my onboot.lst file.
Does not seem to pick up on the rpi's built-in Luxi TTF system font like it does on X86.
I probably fat-fingered something and will get to the bottom of it. But, sure is nice to have so thanks again.
