Oops! configure bombs out before finishing, with : checking whether setpgrp takes no argument... configure: error: cannot check setpgrp when cross compiling Well as I said, that was just one option... the other that comes to mind is to see why apr disables threads if configured for Cygwin, and change that to enable them. -- René Berber -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
