Doesn't work in cygwin #63

Open amcsi opened 9 years ago

amcsi commented 9 years ago

I've tried the latest windows binaries (both x86 and x86-64) and both of them just hang when used in cygwin. On my other computer I had an older version of pt which did work perfectly under cygwin.

Please fix this, as this is the only ack-like program that works under windows without the need of a scripting language. I need it for vim under cygwin.

The problem seems to have to do with not resolving the default path correctly. When specifying "." as the path, it works.

It's works on cygwin bash in cmd.exe. But not works with mintty, cygterm or gnu screen. Problem is tty detection on cygwin.

Same problem #132 (Stdout detection)
