Windows 10: running mc.exe under git-bash console do not work.

[adamyg]

shall need to review, wondering about the underling console; mcwin32 requires a windows console
mintty is a pty based terminal emulatorr; cygwin/mc would be more suitable [correction, see below].
mcwin32 should at least detect and exit if an unsuitable env.

Where i can found the cygwin/mc version to test ?

Cygwin32/64 derived versions of midnight commander wont run under git-bash either.
Suggest use of https://packages.msys2.org/package/mc?repo=msys&variant=x86_64

[adamyg]

mintty detection, based on prelim research, if stdin is a pipe pull object/pipe-name;
MSYS2 pty pipe ('msys-XXXX-ptyN-XX') or a cygwin pty pipe ('cygwin-XXXX-ptyN-XX')

[cgilles]

This want means that you can add a support for this kind of console in the future ?

[adamyg]

no only exit if detected; mintty doesn't present the application with a win-console; mcwin32 is dependent on one.
an entire alternative pty/tty based display driver would be required; hence suggest use of msys mc
