All the tests passed besides the semaphore1.exe. The output is: ... Running VC test: semaphore1.exe thread: sem_trywait 1: No error Assertion failed: (errno == EAGAIN), file semaphore1.c, line 91 NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '.\semaphore1.exe' : return code '0x1' Stop. NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"D:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\bin\nmake.exe"' : return code '0x2' Stop. I couldn't find anything about the failure of this test in the docs, so I assume that it should pass. As I'm not that used with the posix threads I don't really know what's the problem ... Maybe somebody has an idea ?
