Does anyone have or know of a working shell object for Windows? I suspect it requires minGW to compile and that or Cygwin to run. I have the latter, but no minGW setup.
Thanks cgc

the normal [shell] object might work in cygwin - give it a try. [popen] works on normal windows, and its no problem to call bash from it if you dont like cmd...
but no minGW setup.

Forgive my ignorance, but how do i get popen to execute in Cygwin? 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.
thanks cgc

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 ..
I don't think it compiles with MinGW. Check the Pd-extended installer,
if its not there, then it doesn't compile with MinGW.

[shell] throws an error about shell_setup()
I could have sworn I used this object with cygwin on windows, but maybe not.

IIRC, the [shell] code is capped by an "#ifndef _WIN32" currently, so
there is a shell.dll, but its empty, hence the error.
AFAIK, no one has gotten [shell] working on Windows in any way. Plus
now that I think about it, MinGW won't work either. I am pretty sure
that [shell] needs a POSIX environment, MinGW is not POSIX, Cygwin is
tho.
