Compile error with Cygwin MinGW about xconpty HOT 5 CLOSED

There is already a mirror mingw-w64 repository in GitHub. Cygwin header files aren't same as mingw. The underlying goal is different of those two projects. I'll update my readme file.

from xconpty.

As I said in README: "Some values are not defined in mingw-w64 toolchain. It will be updated soon."

I've added some patches in mingw-w64 repository in SourceForge. It may take time to be updated in cygwin or msys2 repository. For workaround, you can add the defined values in header files.

It will be updated soon

Yes I read that, and it's been 3 months since that text was put here, so what exactly is your definition of "soon"?

Oooh, noo, that could take forever. Can you post the patches somewhere else?

I only know ENABLE_VIRTUAL_TERMINAL_PROCESSING, but I have no idea what STARTUPINFOEXW or PROC_THREAD_ATTRIBUTE_PSEUDOCONSOLE should be. Any suggestions where to look?

from xconpty.

Here are those:

#define PROC_THREAD_ATTRIBUTE_PSEUDOCONSOLE 0x20016
#define ENABLE_VIRTUAL_TERMINAL_PROCESSING  0x0004
typedef struct _STARTUPINFOEXW {
    STARTUPINFOW StartupInfo;
    LPPROC_THREAD_ATTRIBUTE_LIST lpAttributeList;
} STARTUPINFOEXW, *LPSTARTUPINFOEXW;

mingw-w64 in msys2 compiles well but cygwin hasn't imported those definitions in their repo. Here are the patches by me:

• https://sourceforge.net/p/mingw-w64/mingw-w64/ci/04db04367a88bb8c6053e8684603d51017949ebb/
• https://sourceforge.net/p/mingw-w64/mingw-w64/ci/b7012ccbf256a2550cfc31e1d7669abe12e01f1c/
  and many more....

Hi @Biswa96
It would have been so much better if they could abandon that 20 year old sourceforge and mailing list development process. It just makes me 🤢
Perhaps your patches are in most recent clone I made here.
