Is there a binary of Pipe Viewer (`pv`) for Windows?

  • 772

I read about the Pipe Viewer (pv) Linux utility, and it sounds really useful. I use plenty of Linux tools on Windows, but this one doesn't seem to be part of the msysgit suite that I use.

How can I get a Windows binary of it?

windows pv

  1. I have stumbled over this question today, as I am looking the same kind of tool for Windows. I didn't found one for Windows, but I found that answer from Stackoverflow, and the solution is just to use the one from Cygwin.

    Here is the quote from there:

    I finally made it work on Cygwin environment though that is not answer for the original post. "--disable-nls" does the trick.

    ./configure --disable-nls

    make

    make test

    cp pv /usr/bin
