Failed to install pty.js about pty.js HOT 14 OPEN

In Linux it's compiling perfectly, but I think it's using different libraries for windows(which are not compiling because of some std error)

I'm using windows 7

npm -v: 2.11.3
node -v: v0.12.7

Thanks

from pty.js.

Same problem here, while trying to use https://github.com/artoale/brackets-terminal

• Windows 8.1
• Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate
• npm install -g tty.js run from Cygwin (Git Bash)

from pty.js.

The important error messages (missing STL symbol) should enable fixing the problem (use #define MIN(a,b) and #define MAX(a,b)) are):

..\..\..\deps\winpty\agent\EventLoop.cc(69): error C2039: 'max' : is not a member of 'std' [C:\Users\kowalskif\AppData\Roaming\npm\
node_modules\tty.js\node_modules\pty.js\build\deps\winpty\winpty-agent.vcxproj]

and:

..\..\..\deps\winpty\agent\NamedPipe.cc(153): error C2039: 'min' : is not a member of 'std' [C:\Users\kowalskif\AppData\Roaming\npm
\node_modules\tty.js\node_modules\pty.js\build\deps\winpty\winpty-agent.vcxproj]

from pty.js.

BTW, adding #include <algorithm> should define those missing symbols....

from pty.js.

including it where?

I'm using npm install -g tty.js so I don't have a script to add #include to.

any details?

from pty.js.

@thatkookooguy did you find any solution? I am stuck at the same spot.

from pty.js.

@userunknow (talking about tty.js which uses pty.js) Eventually, I installed tty.js as non-global in my home directory (Linux) with sudo npm install tty.js, and created an alias in my .bashrc file:
alias ttyjs='node ~/node_modules/tty.js/bin/tty.js'.

from pty.js.

@thatkookooguy what if it is windows, how can we do that in windows?

from pty.js.

@DroidUnknown You can add the local tty.js to the windows PATH variable (Just like node and npm are added automatically).

Here's how:

1. Right click on my computer (either on desktop or start menu). Select Advanced system settings on the sidebar
2. On the new pop-up window, click on the Advanced tab, and then, on Environment Variables...
3. Under System variables, look for the path variable.
4. Edit it. at the very end, add another ; (that's the seperator), and add the absolute path to <tty.js installed folder>\bin

didn't try it yet. but I'm pretty sure that will let you use it like node tty.js

let me know if there are any problems

from pty.js.

@thatkookooguy issue is i am unable to properly install tty.js. I am stuck at

UP. Any fixes on this ?

from pty.js.

No I am afraid not yet.

from pty.js.

When we can except to find the solution ? It's seems it should be just a very simple bug ?

from pty.js.

Might be something to do with versions?

All of you are experiencing this on Windows? Or this is cross platform?

What's the version number of your node and npm?
(you can check by running npm -v & node -v)

please right that here (and which OS you're running)

I'm not sure how much I can help but I'll try

from pty.js.
