[MSYS2] mosh does not connnect / mosh-server does not initiate

[tigerinus]

Freshly installed mosh package under MSYS2. However things don't seem to put together.

~ ❯ mosh localhost
CreateProcessW failed error:2
posix_spawnp: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/mosh: Did not find remote IP address (is SSH ProxyCommand disabled?).

~ ❯ mosh-server.exe new
Error binding to any interface: setsockopt: Invalid argument
Network exception: setsockopt: Invalid argument

I can verify that SSH works fine on localhost:

Is there any information else I should provide to help diagnose?

Thanks!

Based on the error

CreateProcessW failed error:2
posix_spawnp: No such file or directory

The mosh perl script was not able to spawn ssh. More concerningly, the mosh-server was not able to start, due to setsockopt issues.

I am not aware of anyone getting mosh to work under msys. I don't think it's supported. I recommend using WSL instead.
