Windows binaries?

[wdscxsj]

Could you kindly provide prebuilt Windows binaries on the release page? Thanks.

[tsl0922]

The binaries built from the msys2 dir depends on some dlls, I don't know if it is possible to link all of them statically, which will make binary distribution easily.

$ ldd /usr/bin/ttyd.exe | grep -v Windows
        msys-crypto-1.0.0.dll => /usr/bin/msys-crypto-1.0.0.dll (0x561730000)
        msys-2.0.dll => /usr/bin/msys-2.0.dll (0x180040000)
        msys-z.dll => /usr/bin/msys-z.dll (0x522fe0000)
        msys-ssl-1.0.0.dll => /usr/bin/msys-ssl-1.0.0.dll (0x4ba5c0000)
        msys-gcc_s-seh-1.dll => /usr/bin/msys-gcc_s-seh-1.dll (0x5e8160000)

You could try -static.

[tsl0922]

@wdscxsj -static won't work. msys2 is based on Cygwin, which do not support static linking.

I don't want to provide dynamically linked binaries (please compile it by yourself), so I'm closing this issue.

[wdscxsj]

Msys2 is a POSIX-y layer, or working environment, which doesn't support static linking by design. On top of it you can install mingw-w64 to compile static Windows native binaries, provided that all dependency libraries have their static versions prebuilt or, lucky enough, directly provided by pacman. That's a major reason why msys2 is loved by many multi-platform C/C++ developers.

[tsl0922]

mingw-w64 does not emulate posix environment (for example: lack of apis like forkpty), ttyd won't compile on it, too.

It's possible to use winpty on windows to implement the same functionality with forkpty, this is what node-pty does.

[tsl0922]

Maybe we can use the upcoming native ConPTY API on windows 10 🎉

• Support ConPTY on Windows 10 microsoft/node-pty#216
• Official API to create a third-party console host (like pty in Unix) microsoft/terminal#57
• https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/commandline/2018/08/02/windows-command-line-introducing-the-windows-pseudo-console-conpty/

That's new... Windows feels energetic and welcoming to developers in the recent years, finally. Thanks for the great work!

In case you're still interested...

@sgeto Hi, I eventually built my own binary, but thank you all the same! Still longing for the ConPTY version. 😄

ttyd-win32 is not how can build it pls

[WSLUser]

Any progress with ConPTY support?

[tsl0922]

@WSLUser working on it, should be done in this or next month.

ttyd-conpty.zip

This is an experimental conpty build without ssl support, requires Windows 10 1809+ to run.

[tsl0922]

It's on master now., will make a release soon.

To try it, download binary for win10 from a recent ci build, for example:

https://github.com/tsl0922/ttyd/actions/runs/627127925

[ksurl]

is it stable enough to include in releases? seems to work well enough to run cmd or powershell exe for web access to a windows pc

[glenn-kaseya]

Is it still possible to download the Windows 10 binaries?

It's on master now., will make a release soon.

More important is if the ssl support was added. Win32-OpenSSH uses LibreSSL on Windows just fine, so the ssl support can work there, plus GitforWindows also has a fork of openssl too. I'd prefer libressl personally to start with though support more than one ssl implementation would be ideal (so projects like WolfSsl and BoringSsl can also get supported).
