I was suggesting getting posix_ipc or sysv_ipc to compile against a

proposing something totally different, no?
It's not really correct to call Cygwin a compatibility library. It's
more of a separate system.
Thanks for the education; I'm obviously not very familiar with it.
In any case, the current version (1.5.25) does not support sem_unlink
or shm_unlink so posix_ipc does not build. Cygwin 1.7, currently under
test, will support these. I haven't tried it yet. I expect it will
work OOTB.
Thanks for the report. Strange that it supports the functions to open
but not close semaphores. IN any case, I'd be very happy if posix_ipc
or sysv_ipc would work with few or no modifications under Cygwin.
Cheers
Philip
