[Sbcl-devel] SBCL on Cygwin: is there a special build configuration ?

[Ilya Z. <mas...@gm...>]

Hi everybody,
first of all, thank you for a good product, which I like very much.

I have a question about SBCL on Win32.
I'm trying to figure out if sb-unix:unix-select work on Win32.
I need it to get one library, CLORB, working on Win32, too.

I wrote a test and found sb-unix:unix-select working on linux
and not working on win32. I've built 1.20 from sources both
for pure win32 and in cygwin, using default guessed configurations.

But as I have found, sbcl executable built in cygwin does not
depend on cygwin DLL, so I suspect SBCL does not have a special
configuration for Cygwin.

Is my guess correct ?

What about sb-unix:unix-select, I know that it could have worked
on Win32 or on win32 with cygwin at least for TCP/IP sockets
as win32 provides this functionality.

Is there any known way to get it working ?
