pv 1.7.18 doesn't use the whole terminal width

[andrew-schulman]

In Cygwin, the output of pv 1.7.18 is always 80 characters wide, even when the terminal is wider, for example 199 columns as here:

$ pv -S -s 100G < /dev/zero > /dev/null
 100GiB 0:00:11 [8.73GiB/s] [================================>] 100%

$ echo $COLUMNS
199

pv 1.7.0 does use the whole terminal width in Cygwin.

Confirmed that I can reproduce this on my own Cygwin installation using the example you have provided.

The fault appears to be caused by the configure and autoheader changes. In src/pv/display.c there is a check for "HAVE_TERMIOS_H", but this is no longer defined in config.h.

As a short term workaround, after running "configure", edit src/include/config.h and add

#define HAVE_TERMIOS_H 1

to the end of it, then run "make".

I have committed a fix to the main branch. If you would like to confirm that it works for you, please download the latest code (e.g. "git clone /~https://github.com/a-j-wood/pv.git") and then run "./generate.sh && ./configure && make". Thanks.

Confirmed that the problem is fixed in main. Thanks! Once you make a new release I'll push it out to Cygwin.

Thanks. A new release is imminent, since I expect that this fault was not confined only to the Cygwin platform.
