Hi,
According to the online documentation, basic pthread support is
available on Cygwin:
http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/cygwin-api/std-posix.html#AEN85
I've found and #included <pthread.h> in /usr/include/pthread.h, however,
<sys/features.h>, found in /usr/include/sys/features.h, only turns on
_POSIX_THREADS if
a macro named __rtems__ is defined. Similarly for the thread support in
<sys/types.h>.
Is this a bug in the headers or is thread support really not there for
vanilla Cygwin? I'm using version 1.1.7 on Windows 95. (Actually, it's a
snapshot from Jan 10 -- I as trying to avoid the "cygwin hangs after
'sed' in 'libtool' during builds problem). I was told by an insider that
<pthread.h> and <sys/features.h> were only recently added.
