Hi, There have been a number of problems with Cygwin and pthread locks. Not a kannel issue, but a general cygwin problem experienced in other software as well (openssl etc.). It is a compilation problem. Recently I here of more and more people building kannel on Cygwin, therefore I can only assume that the problem is fixed.
Falco's suggestions are, however, valid. Cygwin has a number of other issues with shell scripts and other. Performance is not the least of them. It might be more informative if you download the latest CVS and run the test suite. I don't know how much faster a VM machine is (VMware?), but at least it is a pure OS, therefore as stable and reliable (and difficult to administer). But it is a pain because they give you only this tiny window, with no chance to debug if anything goes wrong.

But I'm not a developer, maybe some else can explain it better for you. Anyway I wouldn't recommend to run a software productive in an emulator. Emulators are always less stable than a native system or VM and you loose performance. Regards Falko Am 18.02.2009 um 02:55 schrieb Low Weng Kin: Dear Falko, Actually, thanks for your info... BTW, you mentioned previously the Kannel might encounter some problem inside the Window environment... Can I know what kind of risk will I be facing in more details?

For example you create the webserver on Port 23456 and there is a PHP script called "sms.php", than you set up a config line inside kannel looking like this: group = sms-service keyword = default post-url = "http://localhost:23456/sms.php?ORIGINATOR=%p&RECEIVER=%P&SMS=%a&SOURCE_PRV=%o"; max-messages = 0 Inside sms.php you can get the content of the SMS in the variables $_GET["ORIGINATOR"] for the sender or $_GET["SMS"] for the content and so on. Now you can use the SMS inside your script and forward it to somewhere else, create an answer (if you directly create an answer in your script, you should set the switch max-messages to something else than "0") or write it into a database. Also you can add a plugin to kannel called sqlbox. This makes kannel to put the message directly into a database. If you're interessted in that, say it, someone else could surely help you, that's not "my world". Regards Falko Am 17.02.2009 um 02:50 schrieb Low Weng Kin: Hello Falko, Thanks for your reply. after I defined the URL, let's say "http://localhost:23456/sms?phone=%p&text=&a";, how do i retrieve the message? I know that I can see something like "http://localhost:23456/sms?phone=787812121&text=this_is_a_message"; in the terminal every time there is a new message coming in from the SMSC. Where are the message stored? How can I actually retrieve them?

Please take a look at the manual. And better don't use Cygwin for kannel. Install a linux in a VM and install kannel there, you will soon experience some trouble with kannel inside cygwin. Regards Falko Am 16.02.2009 um 10:25 schrieb Low Weng Kin: Hi, I just finish installing and configuring Kannel on my local PC using Cygwin. I am currently testing it using SMPPSim. I just tested the send SMS through HTTP POST to the virtual SMSC. My question is how to get the incoming SMS from the SMSBox with a Window application? I want to know the concept on how to retrieving it.Thank you all in advance.
