Re^2: IO::Pty with Cygwin

Thanks for this, Rob. I'm running Cygwin 1.7.6-1 and it doesn't want to go. Did the installation stall for you at 'opening /dev/tty1', and if so, how long did it take to get past that?

I also couldn't find 1.7.5 online; newest version is 1.7.6 and there's no link on the Cygwin site to download previous versions. Do you think you could provide the setup.exe to me?

Actually, no worries. I just installed manually instead of from the command line and skipped the make test. I ran my script that uses IO::Pty on Cygwin and it works perfectly. Not sure why it couldn't do make test.	[reply]

Not sure why it couldn't do make test Cygwin can be a bit funny about what it lets you do from certain locations. Maybe this is just one of its quirks. Good that it's working for you. Cheers, Rob	[reply]

how'd you install this manually? A better option for this particular case would be to install by running: `cpan -T IO::Tty` [download] The `-T` switch ensures that the tests are not run. Not sure if that was an option back in 2010. To install manually: 1) Download http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/T/TO/TODDR/IO-Tty-1.12.tar.gz (or http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/T/TO/TODDR/IO-Tty-1.13_01.tar.gz if you want to install the development version). 2) Run `tar zxvf IO-Tty-1.12.tar.gz` 3) cd to the IO-Tty-1.12 folder 4) Run `perl Makefile.PL` 5) Run `make test` 6) Run `make install` You can skip step 5 (not recommended) - which is what azredwing did, as that process was hanging.
