I changed the file window.c:65 as follows and everything seems to work

static char *CS, *SF, *SR, *VB, *BL; static char *VE, *VI, *KS, *KE; static char *CD, *CL, *IC, *DC;

• static char *BC, *CR, *NL;

+ static char *CR, *NL;

#if ST_LINE static char *TS, *FS, *DS; #endif

Warning - I dont really know what I am doing here... YMMV Clean install of Tiger and DP1 with May 12, selfupdate

This also worked for me on my 10.4.1 system. I'm in the same boat.. I'm not sure if this is the "right" fix, but minicom compiled and installed.

Thanks, Stephane.

I will go ahead and make this fix for Tiger, and leave unchanged to Panther.
