figure out basic win32 support
tmm1 opened this issue · comments
look at how the popen4 gem does it
this is causing issues for albino/gollum users on win32: https://github.com/github/gollum/issues/140
as of edb457b, the gem does not attempt to compile posix-spawn.c on win32. it is still broken though, since there's no fork(2) on windows.
after the previous commit, posix-spawn works on win32 with ruby1.9, as we are able to use the native Process::spawn
on 1.8, we can either use the djberg96/win32-open3 or copy what it is doing under the hood (from Q190351)
No work in Cygwin :(
posix-spawn.c is still compiled when running under cygwin which causes the gem install to fail (as of release 0.3.6).

It is should be fixed in the master. Try to instal from git.
Closing as fixed. Please reopen if this continues to be an issue.
