HI there,
after doing a reading-only job in this list due to lack of time I'm now
sorta restarting with Harold's Test 21. Pretty late, eh?
Suhaib, in this p-thread (pun intended) you told something here that you
succeeded in compiling in _basic_ pthread support. Is this true, does this
mean the 4.0.3 binaries are _at least a little_ thread-safe now?
I'd appreciate that very much because I've got several applications I
couldn't build yet because of lack of pthread support in cygwin. Please
don't call this 'whining', of course I know I'm supposed to wait until
someone has the time to improve this because I don't have a clue of pthreads
programming, mutex and all this stuff. But I don't give up the hope.
In case the current binaries are _not_ thread-safe, I'll have to build XFree
from source, which I don't anticipate so much because it takes loads of time
...
Could you please give me some recent infos?
Thanks,
Andreas
