I just compiled and ran a pthreads program on Cygwin, so perhaps they have progressed since last time you checked.
Which documented security holes are you referring to? Interix costs money, so it's a bit moot; I use Cygwin because I don't have to fill out a purchase order and have my boss approve it. I don't have a huge business reason to use it; I just prefer bash sometimes. Gets me that nice tab completion feature missing in win2k. - Dan -----Original Message----- From: Philip Willoughby To: Dan Kegel Cc: 'Santosh Kadam '; '[EMAIL PROTECTED] ' Sent: 7/23/2002 1:29 PM Subject: RE: Pthread Support For Interix Neither interix or cygwin support pthreads to my knowledge. I personally would use interix in preference to cygwin as it has fewer documented security holes... There used to be a project which was implementing pthreads as a layer on top of NT threads, but I can't remember where it was. Checking google says: http://sources.redhat.com/pthreads-win32/ Note that it isn't perfect, but might be good enough for your purposes...
