Forgive my ignorance, but how do i get popen to execute in Cygwin?
to use the real [shell] object, your entire pd would need to be running inside cygwin, compiled with DUNIX and [shell] linked to that, etc. probably not worth the hassle. the main thing [shell] offers over [popen] is it doenst block the execution of PD while stuff is running..
The help mentions 'add bash -c' but I can't get that to do anything. The usual DOS commands execute, but those are of limited use.
go to start -> control panel -> system -> advanced -> environment -> PATH and add a path to bash.exe on the end. then it should work...ive only used minGW's bash but cygwin's might work too ..
