Recent snapshots support the --enable-threadsafe for the configure process. The build cygwin1.dll and dependend libs will implement some pthread_* functions as usually available within the libpthread.a library (i.e. MIT's pthread) on other systems. As Geoffrey and other from Cygnus have stated the pthread functions within the latest snapshots are *very expertimental* and may not work at all. I have tried to compile some simple example programs using pthread functions. They do build, but crash with a segmentation fault error on a Win98 box.

Actually, since this is a free software project, I was kinda hoping that people might be willing to provide fixes for any problems they are running across. Waiting for things to improve will probably work but volunteers could speed this along. Otherwise, if anyone wants to send *detailed* information on problems I can at least archive it until we have time to work on pthreads again. Detailed information would be, at a minimum, a stack dump from the SIGSEGV, minimal source code to reproduce the problem, and instructions for reproducing the problem. cgf -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
