Hi Oliver,
The problem is that pthreads-win32 doesn't provide POSIX signals,
only those parts of the POSIX standard that relate closely to threads
(excepting those which can't be implementated on Win32 - yet).
If you need Signals then you should look at the CygWin project, which
aims to provide a much more complete Unix/POSIX API on Win32. I'm not
sure how complete the threads support is, but they have been doing a
lot of work on it over the last 12 months.
http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin
http://cygwin.com/licensing.html
Another possibility is the UWin project from AT&T.
http://www.research.att.com/sw/tools/uwin/
Hope this helps.
Ross
