Supporting MinW32? #37

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Are there any plans to support MingW32, specifically the install that 
comes with Git?

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Go to your standard bash shell in MinW32 (no cygwin installed).
2. Run ~/putty.exe -cygterm -

What is the expected result?  What happens instead?
Expected the shell will open, it does not.

PutTTYcyg version: 20091228
Cygwin version: N/A
Windows version: Windows 7, x64

No, sorry.  Mingw32 is a collection of tools compiled against the Microsoft C 
runtime (msvcrt*.dll).  It does not 
provide a POSIX emulation layer with tty devices (like cygwin*.dll).

Have you seen console.sf.net ?
