Terminal from a few days ago still does not build on Solaris, so i assume this hasn't been done. this patch implement forkpty, as well as changing $TERM from "linux" to "xtermc" (linux does not make sense on Solaris because there is no terminfo entry for it) and adding -liconv. some of this should probably be done in an autoconf script rather than with a mess of #ifdefs. this forkpty code is not Solaris-specific, and should work on any SVR4 system.

Whoops. That last comment was from me, tmcintos at avalon net.

Indeed. forkpty exists only on Linux and BSD, as far as I know. It seems to be a fairly portable API, though its companion login_tty() is not. I have implemented a forkpty() function (and a few other changes) for IRIX so that I can run Terminal.app under that OS; I can provide this code if someone wants to integrate it [aside: am I the only one trying to run GNUstep on IRIX 6.5, because it seems there are a lot of long-standing minor bugs and build issues that remain to be fixed]. It should not be difficult to do the same for Solaris, but I would guess that this pty issue has been solved (many times) before--does anyone know of a library that addresses this issue? A Google search turned up references to SSH--perhaps there is some code there that could be reused?

The code in TerminalView.m is not portable, because there is no forkpty(3) function [at least] in Solaris.
