Yeah i was using mingw32/msys but as you said the socket stuff does work
differently. I like to avoid having the extra cygwin layer...

Thanks for the tip with glib. I had allready looked into GLibmm and
their Dispatcher for cross thread callbacks (with a MainLoop in both
threads).

I was looking into sigcx because I don't think its possible with the
glibmm to have parameters for the cross thread signals. (In other words
to evoke a call to a function like void mycallback(int) but not bind it
upon connect on the reveiver side. I want to get the values from thread
A to B in with a callback call.)
Or I just haven't figured it out yet...

But am I right to assume that that's not possible with sigcx either?
