Compiling tarball failed
I need to compile a tarball, rdesktop-1.7.0.tar.gz.
My final goal is to have an rdesktop bootable CD to connect to Terminal Server.
I used Cygwin and I have followed the instruction on http://www.soren.schimkat.dk/Blog/?p=69, but it failed on "./configure make" section.
Any thought?

Papertrip
Did you put a semicolon in between configure and make? They are 2 separate commands.
Any error message?
ASKER
Papertrip: Yes, there is a semicolon:
./configure --with-x --with-sound=oss; make; strip rdesktop.exe
hmccurdy: The error messages are:
configure: error: in /home/user/rdesktop-1.7.0'
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
bash: make: command not found
bash: strip: command not found
./configure --with-x --with-sound=oss; make; strip rdesktop.exe
hmccurdy: The error messages are:
configure: error: in /home/user/rdesktop-1.7.0'
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
bash: make: command not found
bash: strip: command not found

hmccurdy: Well, I just followed whatever in http://www.soren.schimkat.dk/Blog/?p=69. I will try RH-Cygwin, however. Thanks
I have another idea. It might not fit your needs but since I had the idea, I'll share it.
Instead of Cygwin, why don't you just use Linux?
I don't know exactly what you mean by terminal server. I'll tell you what I did many years ago. I wrote a very simple terminal emulator designed to go from Linux to Linux. (There is no emulation of different terminal types. It just gets characters from the kb and sends them and displays characters received on the screen).
Then I put this program on a simple bootable CD that boots and runs a simple Linux. (Pretty much in the style of the Slackware setup CD but far simpler.)
Perhaps that's not what you wanted and perhaps it's too much effort. It was the easiest approach for me.

The website, http://www.soren.schimkat.dk/Blog/?p=69, also provides the .zip file of the rdesktop, so I don't have to compile it.
