    Chui Tey - 2000-12-05

    I am having difficulty building under win32 with gcc. I ran ./configure under cygwin. Make did not work, both under cygwin and under a standard dos prompt. I have both mingw gcc and cygwin gcc.

    make starts off saying...
    making all for posix (I didn't think this is a good sign. Make falls over in thread.h)

    then, I commented out #SUBDIRS= posix common, and used SUBDIRS=win32 common instead. I get this error:

    In file included from mempager.cpp:43:
    ../posix/thread.h:492: syntax error before `;'

    in common/Makefile there were references to posix peppered all over it.

    I seem to be missing out on something fundamental at the ./configure stage. Can someone help shed some light on this?

      I just ran in to the same issue.  Apparently Cygwin doesn't implement "pthread_cond_t".  I've seen other complaints about this on the net as well.

      So far I haven't been able to locate a newer cygwin pthreads package.

      I'm running CYGWIN-NT4.0 1.1.6(0.30/3/2)
      whatever that means.
