Re: child thread termination causes main thread error termination

[Mark Paulus <mark dot paulus at mci dot com>]

I tried compiling this, and it failed with:

$ make lab4_1
gcc     lab4_1.c   -o lab4_1
lab4_1.c:13:32: ../inc/local_mutex.h: No such file or directory
lab4_1.c:49: error: `PTHREAD_COND_INITIALIZER' undeclared here (not in a functio
n)
lab4_1.c:50: error: `PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER' undeclared here (not in a functi
on)
lab4_1.c:52: error: `PTHREAD_COND_INITIALIZER' undeclared here (not in a functio

lab4_1.c:53: error: `PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER' undeclared here (not in a functi
on)
lab4_1.c:55: error: `PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER' undeclared here (not in a functi

make: *** [lab4_1] Error 1

after changing the include to be #include <pthread.h>, it compiled fine.
And it seems to run to completion, as expected....

$ ./lab4_1

Running on a self-built cygwin 1.5.11 kernel, on WinXP / SP1.

Hmmm, some more slightly interesting results.  Moving this to a Debian Sarge
box, and trying it gives a slightly different output:

So, maybe it's not working quite as expected.  If I get some time, I'll
look into it some more from my side.

output of cygcheck.  Is this a know problem and if so is there any other workaround.
