Build issue on windows

[axelhj]

I just cloned the repository and executed make in the directory but it failed:

ttyclock.c: In function 'key_event':
ttyclock.c:443:16: error: implicit declaration of function 'nanosleep' [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
  443 |                nanosleep(&length, NULL);

I think that nanosleep is specific to Linux but not included in Posix. It would be neat if the timer was configurable to use sleep which is part of the C standard. This would potentially reduce precision/make the library unable to display milliseconds, but the use of sleep could be configurable at compile time e.g with conditionally included sourcefiles to switch sleep implementation.

I might consider implementing this if none are opposed to the feature (MSYS2-compatibility).

Reference: nanosleep

have you found a way to get this working with windows? most terminal clocks i have seen seem to be linux or mac os dependent for some reason :/

I nearly did but I had to remove the signals/non-posix code to get it to build (whatever the details were). The cpu spikes to 100% while running the clock after that so a lot of code must be changed for it to be useful. I guess you could run it in virtualbox or wsl if you really like the style. It is pretty neat.
