So for some reason I feel compelled to work on Windows tho I don’t use it at all myself. The sad fact is the majority of computer users out there are on Windows. And someone has to make the Pd builds on Windows, so here I find myself again. In order to reduce the pain as much as possible, I use Cygwin, MinGW, and MSYS to make it as UNIX-like as possible. There is just one little thing missing for me, and that is the ability to ssh into a Windows box and get the MSYS/MinGW shell.
I did just find that I can get a broken-ish MinGW MSYS shell by sshing into Cygwin, then running /cygdrive/c/msys/1.0/bin/sh --login -i. But it inherits the environment variables from Cygwin, and so it barely works. I did find this Python script that is supposed to fix that problem, but no luck for me.
Has anyone out there done this successfully?
