Hello,

After updating my xterm port, uxterm stopped working saying that:

% uxterm
xterm:  bad command line option "-u8"

usage:  xterm [-/+132] [-C] [-Sccn] [-T string] [-/+ah] [-/+ai] [-/+aw]
    [-b number] [-/+bc] [-bcf milliseconds] [-bcn milliseconds] [-bd color]
    [-/+bdc] [-bg color] [-bw number] [-/+cb] [-cc classrange] [-class string]
    [-/+cm] [-/+cn] [-cr color] [-/+cu] [-/+dc] [-display displayname]

    [-tm string] [-tn name] [-/+uc] [-/+ulc] [-/+ulit] [-/+ut] [-/+vb]
    [-version] [-/+wf] [-xrm resourcestring] [-ziconbeep percent]

Type xterm -help for a full description.

Then I found in the x11/xterm Makefile this:

.if defined(WITH_WIDE_CHARS)
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=        --enable-wide-chars --enable-luit
.endif

and, of course after I've rebuilt x11/xterm with "make
-DWITH_WIDE_CHARS" everything worked. I guess if the uxterm wrapper
script is installed, then WITH_WIDE_CHARS should probably be enabled
by default. What do you think?

Have a nice day!

Vlad
