    Hi.
    Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I can't get the libraries compiled under Cygwin (last version, dll 1.1.4)
    1) configure doesn't recognize dlltool
    2) configure doesn't "get" that he's running in windows (maybe this one is correct, since i want the posix directory not the win32 one)
    3) it seems that there is no _cond type in cygwin libraries, so i get this message:

    thread.h:491: syntax error before `;'

    i've read something about a patch to build in cygwin, but it was for the m4 directory not the sources... any thoughts?

      sorry, the undefined type was pthread_cond_t, and it seems to live in some file named perl.h :-P

      typedef pthread_cond_t    perl_cond;

      nice, uh?

      going to check my installation before asking.

        It's been awhile since I have tried the cygwin stuff with Common C++.  Originally
        I was able to get Common C++ to cross compile to a linux hosted mingw32 environment, but that was using the win32 tree rather than the "posix" tree which cygwin should eventually support.  The critical problem has been with cygwin
        pthread support, which appears not yet to be sufficiently capable of hosting Common C++.  You should be able to compile the win32 tree under a cygwin environment.
