Using PThread dll with cygwin

Using PThread dll with cygwin

[acabrero]

Hi,
I have just found the PThread library for POSIX threads, and I'd like to
know if it's posible to use with Cygwin or if it isn't compatible. I
have read that there might be some problems becuase Cygwin's own POSIX
threads implementation, but I still need some functions provided in the
PTHREADS-WIN32 library that aren't implemented in Cygwin.
Thanks.

Angel.

You can check the mail archives yourself on this subject and draw your own
conclusions but everything I've read on this subject indicates to me that
the PThread library is not compatible/usable with Cygwin.  Missing 
functionality in the Cygwin implementation needs to be added.  Feel free to
contribute pieces you see missing if you're so inclined.
