Running on windows

[John Haigh]

Hello,

Is there documentation somewhere on how to run on windows? 

I took one of the samples that comes with lanterna and this runs fine on MacOSX but when I run on windows I get the following error:

C:\dev>java -cp lanterna-3.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar com.Test

Exception in thread "main" java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "/bin/stty":

On Windows, the command line window is not even a poor imitation of a "terminal".

If you install Cygwin, then you get something at least slightly resembling a terminal, but it probably
still won't work well. You could, however, help us to beef up cygwin support on Windows until it actually
works.

Without Cygwin, you can try to change the invocation to something like:
C:\dev> start java -cp lanterna-3.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar com.Test
and if you're lucky, it will open a separare window for Test. I think
it should work, but I don't have Windows here, so can't test.

Hey,


So I am running the attached program. It was a example. I can run this via netbeans8.2. I double click it and run it. I cannot run it via Maven. See images for information on. All was ran won Windows 7. I would like to know the cmd issue too.

when in cmd console, use javaw instead of java

For pure terminal support under Windows (even Cygwin, I'm pretty sure) native bindings will be necessary. It seems just not possible to do some of the required low-level terminal operations properly with only java. There are some experimental native Windows and Linux bindings in a sub-module for lanterna, but it's only partially functional.

The Swing terminal emulator should be functional though. Perhaps the auto-detection requires you to run javaw.exe instead of java.exe when launching, as Andreas is pointing out above. You could also quite easily hard-code the program to use SwingTerminalFrame whenever running on Windows.
