Re: installing putty on archlinuxppc?

Seems to be a general problem when building with gcc-4.4. To work around this you can disable strict aliasing (add -fno-strict-aliasing to your CFLAGS).

From pretty muchany linux distro you can use the ssh command from the terminal to ssh to machines. You can use the agetty command to connect to serial connectons

This seems to have been zombified, but since it was, I might as well add a comment if someone runs across this again. Garns is correct, and I spoke to the maintainer a ways back to have the suggested temporary fix applied. Should work fine from aur now, putty-svn.

Same response that #3

You can do all things that putty do from terminal, like port forwardings, etc.
