use latest version of mintty for older windows version about wsltty

[mintty]

Yes, and you need a minimal cygwin installation plus packages gcc and make.

[mintty]

Yes, you can use a current cygwin build of mintty as a plug-in replacement. Just the wsltty reference in "About" would change.

so i replaced the mintty.exe in the bin folder with the cygwin mintty, but it does not work, i use wsl1

[mintty]

Hmm, so maybe your version was still based on the former wslbridge (not 2) version?
What's the contents of %APPDATA%/Local/wsltty/bin ?

[icewyvrn]

yea i use wsl1

[mintty]

Using the previous wslbridge is still present in the code, however, you'd need to disable the line
#define wslbridge2
in line 6770 of file winmain.c and build mintty for a matching plug-in replacement.

okay i'll try, where is the cygwin build source? is it here? https://github.com/mintty/mintty
