It looks like the maximum number of ptys under Cygwin is 64.
I have two 2160x3840 (4K) monitors and I'm running into this limit.
I would like to raise it.
After googling around,
I found: https://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2010-12/msg00357.html
Where someone asks about how to increase the number of ptys. And
a reply said that the limit is hard-coded. The reply says "You'd have
to rebuild the Cygwin DLL to change it."
How hard is it to build the Cygwin DLL?
Is it something that journeyman C++ programmer without any kernel
experience could do?
If so, can someone point in the general direction of something like:
"So you want to build the Cygwin DLL"
document (if any.)
