-Q 1 How do I get pthreads-win32 to link under Cygwin or Mingw32?
+Q 1 Should I use Cygwin or Mingw32 as a development environment?
Q 2 Now that pthreads-win32 builds under Mingw32, why do I get
memory access violations?

-The following email from Anders Norlander explains how to solve this
-problem. I think the proviso is that the DLL and your application should
-both be built with the same development environment (cygwin, mingw,
-or MSVC etc).
+Important: see Q2 also.
+
+I short, use Mingw32 with the MSVCRT library to build applications that use
+the DLL. You cannot build the library itself with either yet because the
+library uses C++ EH which is not thread-safe in egcs yet. Use MSVC or grab
+the pre-build DLL etc.
