Initially it will be made to compile using g++ -because the implementation uses exception handling for cancellation -to work. The library is C callable though so if you need to write -applications in C you'll have to grab the pre-built DLL. +If you have a suitable environment run the configure script, otherwise you +can copy Makefile.in to Makefile and edit it as required. +There is an unresolved bug which shows up as a segmentation fault +(memory access violation) when the library is built using g++. Build +the test program "eyal1.c" and run with an argument of "2" or greater. +The argument is the number of threads to run, excluding the main thread, +so the bug appears with 2 or more worker threads. The complete source code in tar format and a precompiled DLL and matching pthread.h can be found at: -- cgit v1.2.3
