Issue description

I'm making a plugin for obsidian, and I have the following error when running it.

plugin:sample-plugin:8124 TypeError: this._ptyNative.startProcess is not a function
    at new WindowsPtyAgent2 (plugin:sample-plugin:7252:36)
    at new WindowsTerminal2 (plugin:sample-plugin:7557:26)

Here is the code I implemented:

import { ItemView, WorkspaceLeaf } from 'obsidian';
import { Terminal } from '@xterm/xterm';
import { IPty, spawn } from 'node-pty';
import '@xterm/xterm/css/xterm.css';

export const VIEW_TYPE_EXAMPLE = 'example-view';
export class ExampleView extends ItemView {

  term: Terminal;
  ptyProcess: IPty;

  constructor(leaf: WorkspaceLeaf) {
    super(leaf);
    try {
      this.ptyProcess = spawn('cmd.exe', [], {
        name: 'xterm-color'
      });
    } catch (error) {
      console.error(error)
    }
    this.term = new Terminal();
  }

  getViewType() {
    return VIEW_TYPE_EXAMPLE;
  }

  getDisplayText() {
    return 'Example view';
  }

  async onOpen() {
    const contentEl = this.containerEl.children[1].createDiv({ cls: 'html-terminal' });
    this.term.open(contentEl);
    this.term.writeln('Welcome from \x1B[1;3;31mxterm.js\x1B[0m');
    this.term.write(' $ ');

    try {
      this.term.onData(data => {
        try {
          this.ptyProcess?.write(data);
        } catch (err) {
          console.error('Error writing to pty:', err);
        }
      });

      this.ptyProcess.onData(data => {
        this.term.write(data);
      });

    } catch (err) {
      console.error(err);
    }
  }

}

This looks like you did not successfully build node-pty's native components. See https://github.com/microsoft/node-pty?tab=readme-ov-file#dependencies
