This is out now, has support for more ansi codes. Notably, 't' which some use to define 24bit colour instead of the usual 'm'. Also some extra cursor positioning codes.

This should make 24bit colour work in all situations, and ncurses programs that magiterm didn't render properly should now render correctly.

Also cursor should now be updated at the end of a sixel, rather than staying where it was. (You can still position it if you want to)

So I got a question for you, APAM... is building Magi on Windows 10/11 any different than *nix? I've been doing a little Windows test and want to build MagiTerm over here, too...

You use CMake like on linux, but sorting out dependencies is a little tricker, you need to install openssl for windows, build libssh from source and get the SDL2 & SDL2_image stuff.

Once you have all that, you use the cmake gui and plug in the locations of various things, and click configure, then generate, then open project and it will open VS, at which point you can build.

Once you have the dependencies in place, it's fairly easy, libssh can be awkward is all.

[Can I build MagiTerm on Windows 11?]

Thanks for the details, will export this text and keep for the future... I'm just getting my feet wet with Windows, so I don't fully grasp everything just yet. Heck, it might be easier just to build under WSL2/Ubuntu on the Windows machine - but maybe I'll dive in and see what the process is like... I'm sure I can build libssh, and I might even learn something along the way. Thanks...

Most people on windows that use MagiTerm would I assume just use the 32 bit binary i put up. It works on Windows 11 fine (I'm using it right now).

Compiling in WSL2 might work, I'm not sure on the status of X11 applications in WSL2, I think it works now days, but not sure.

Ahhh - I didn't see that on the Gitlab page, but I'll peek around a bit next time. TBH, Sync is really nice in Windows - and this is just one machine. [Still weirded out that I'm liking it as much as I AM.]

I went looking for it at gitlab and didn't see it. I went back a few messages and found where you posted a link. I downloaded it and will play with it over the next few days.

Oh sorry. No it's not on the gitlab page.

I've always put win32 binaries here : http://members.iinet.net.au/~apamment/

However now I am putting them here as well:

Yep it's pretty good. I find it best when I set the default aspect to LCD or something, so it doesn't look stretched.

Windows? I found windows 11 to be a step up from Windows 10, I still prefer kde / plasma, but windows 11 is not too bad.

What are the advantages of "building" Magiterm on Windows over just using the 32 bit binary? Curious. Also I didn't know you could do that on Windows.

I just didn't know APAM posted the binaries. :P I've downloaded TitanMail and MagiTerm binaries now, and will just look for those like a normal person.
