My last (I promise) tantrum: is it possible to run gcc on a Pentium 166?
Juanito:
This works:
--- Code: ---tce-load -i compiletc ncursesw-dev ncursesw-utils libXaw-dev libXinerama-dev libXft-dev
wget https://invisible-mirror.net/archives/xterm/xterm-399.tgz
tar xf xterm-399.tgz
cd xterm-399
sed -i '/v0/{n;s/new:/new:kb=^?:/}' termcap
printf '\tkbs=\\177,\n' >> terminfo
CPPFLAGS="-I /usr/local/include/ncursesw" TERMINFO="/usr/local/share/terminfo" CC="gcc -flto -march=i486 -mtune=i686 -Os -pipe" CXX="g++ -flto -march=i486 -mtune=i686 -Os -pipe -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti" ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --localstatedir=/var --sysconfdir=/etc --with-app-defaults=/etc/X11/app-defaults --with-tty-group=staff
find . -name Makefile -type f -exec sed -i 's/-g -O2//g' {} \;
make [ 0m 50.14s]
sudo make install
--- End code ---

¡Muchas gracias, señor! :)
It seem that what I found is not the "latest xterm" as they stated (it was definitely so at that time).
Well, indeed your work is superb and your settings work.
But I'd like to put it on my P166 and can't do "make install" on it since it's not possible, it seems, to install gcc on it.
Then, my best attempt was to install on a separate dir of my Virtualbox-TC, zip it and unpack it on my P166.
I successfully did that way for other programs yet, but changing the xterm --prefix it seems to me I split the installation somehow.
Not sure on how to set the remaining options:
--- Code: -----localstatedir=/var --sysconfdir=/etc --with-app-defaults=/etc/X11/app-defaults
--- End code ---
Putting $PREFIX on them causes the old error.
Sorry, my IT knowledge is limited.
Many thanks

I'm so grateful.
I had used these option to enable unicode:
--- Code: -----enable-16bit-chars --enable-256-color
--- End code ---
Are there any alternative methods to enable unicode?
Many thanks
Juanito:
You could try uxterm included with xterm or right-click on the xterm window and see if that brings up options?
