windows95 and missing export in kernel32.dll

[Ales Pour]

Hello,
I'm having little trouble running my app on our customer's Windows 95
machine - it complains about missing export of
InterlockedCompareExchange in kernel32.dll. I'm using pthreadVSE.dll
from 2001-07-12 snapshot. Is this version of the library supposed to run
on w95? 
Thank you.

Regards,
	Ales

Hello,

InterlockedCompareExchange() requires Windows 98 or later.

So I have to use older (2000-12-29) library for Win95 machines? OK ...

I thought this problem with InterlockedCompareExchange() had already
been dealt with? Or am I thinking of some other non-Win95 system call
that was already removed?

Windows 95 compatibility is very important to most developers.

Use snapshot 2001-07-03. It's the same as 2001-07-12 except for
some very minor bug fixes, spinlocks and barriers, which you
probably don't want on Win95. Using InterlockedCompareExchange()
was an oversight due to running the testsuite on a Win98 system.

Win95 compatibility should be fixed in the next snapshot.

I hate to reply to my own message, but after a few hours of sleep I
remembered that the previous Win95 problem was with TryCriticalSection,
so this indeed is a new problem. Sorry for any confusion this may have
caused.
