This morning I finally decided to do something about it, and wrote quick wrapper scripts for telnet. The script should be fairly self-explanatory:


#!/bin/sh

#
# Wrapper script to set window title to the host contacted.
#

# Helper function to set title of window
function settitle() { echo -ne “\e]2;$@\a\e]1;$@\a”; }

#
# Default cygwin PS1 also sets the title, effectively overriding any custom settings.
# We therefore set PS1 to zero, and restore it afterwards.
#
PS1_BCKUP=$PS1
PS1=
# Make sure PS1 is restored even in case of interrupts
trap “PS1=$PS1_BCKUP” 0
trap “exit 2″ 1 2 3 15

settitle $1
/usr/bin/telnet $1


$(MAKE) CFLAGS="$(TARGET_CFLAGS)"


However, this prevents the Makefile to further extend the CFLAGS variable. The solution was not to pass the CFLAGS variable on the command line, but set it in the environment instead:


CFLAGS:=$(TARGET_CFLAGS)
...
$(MAKE)


cat ~/.emacs
(set-terminal-coding-system ‘iso-latin-1)
;http://theotp1.physik.uni-ulm.de/~ste/comp/emacs/gnus/draft/G_E_C_Draft.html
(set-language-environment “Latin-1″)
;http://www.velofahren.de/emacs-umlaute-faq.html
(set-input-mode (car (current-input-mode))
(nth 1 (current-input-mode))

This works for me:

• Create a ~/.inputrc:
set meta-flag on
set input-meta on
set output-meta on
set convert-meta off
• Adapt your iTerm terminal profile settings:
  • Terminal type should be identical to the content of the $TERM variable (ansi is default and seems also to work with vi and emacs)
  • Terminal encoding should be Unicode (UTF-8)

Next step will be to make umlaute also work in Emacs and vi

dd if=my.img of=/dev/sd? bs=1024 conv=sync

if= specifies the image to write, of= the output device (Windows device names are mapped to UNIX ones). bs=1024 conv=sync ensures that only complete blocks (normally 1024 bytes) are written. If the image size does not fit, zeros are appended. This helps if you receive mysterious “No space left on device” errors.

Alternatively use the Windows physdiskwrite.exe program.
