Here is a patch for posix semaphores. I've made a bunch of corrections
suggested by dw. I've applied the patch to my local mingw-w64 and generated
a new dll and replaced the old one and the example program of libtubo (git
version) works just fine.
I'll be testing parallel makes next as unnamed

If there is any interest in including the code in ming-w64, I would have no
problem in changing the license to that which is used by mingw-w64.
Otherwise, anybody who wants to use the code is free to use it under GPL,
which is what I use as a matter of habit.

My mistake, winpthreads itself is BSD, so is it OK to license it as
BSD for mingw-w64?
If we are going to look at adopting this code, there are few things in
it that should be reviewed first. I saw a few when it was first posted,
but dropped them when I saw there were licensing issues.

Here's the code for using named and unnamed semaphores in Mingw-w64. The
only function I have not tested (but looks OK now) is _sem_timedwait().
Code is included in libtubo release 5.0.12 (http://xffm.org/libtubo.html)
with GPLV3, so if it is of any use, feel free to use it. I've prepared

handle = CreateSemaphore(NULL, (LONG) value, (LONG) 1024, name);
Why 1024? Is this the same as SEM_VALUE_MAX?
Probably not the same. I'm now changing it to SEM_VALUE_MAX.
if (handle == NULL){
LPTSTR buffer;

handle = CreateSemaphore(NULL, (LONG) value, (LONG) 1024, name);

if (handle == NULL){
LPTSTR buffer;
errno = EINVAL;
return (_sem_t *)SEM_FAILED;
}
What's the buffer for?
static int _sem_timedwait(_sem_t
Here's some code to enable named semaphores as defined in semaphore.h.
I've tested it with the libtubo example program and all
seems to work well. The only caveat is that windows will unlink the
semaphore when the last process closes the semaphore. This goes hand in
hand with the inability of
