-PTHREADS-WIN32
-==============
-
-Pthreads-win32 is free software, distributed under the GNU Library
-General Public License (LGPL). See the file 'COPYING.LIB' for terms
-and conditions.
-
-
-What is it?
------------
-
-Pthreads-win32 is an Open Source Software implementation of the
-Threads component of the POSIX 1003.1c 1995 Standard for Microsoft's
-Win32 environment. Some functions from POSIX 1003.1b are also
-supported including semaphores. Other related functions include
-the set of read-write lock functions. The library also supports
-some of the functionality of the Open Group's Single Unix
-specification, version 2, namely mutex types.
-
-See the file "ANNOUNCE" for more information including standards
-conformance details and list of supported routines.
-
-
-Library naming
---------------
-
-Because the library is being built using various exception
-handling schemes and compilers - and because the library
-will not work reliably if these are mixed in an application,
-each different version of the library has it's own name.
-
-In general:
-	pthread[VG]{SE,CE,C}.dll
-	pthread[VG]{SE,CE,C}.lib
-
-where:
-	[VG] indicates the compiler
-	V	- MS VC
-	G	- GNU C
-
-	{SE,CE,C} indicates the exception handling scheme
-	SE	- Structured EH
-	CE	- C++ EH
-        C       - no exceptions - uses setjmp/longjmp
-
-For example:
-	pthreadVSE.dll	(MSVC/SEH)
-	pthreadGCE.dll	(GNUC/C++ EH)
-        pthreadGC.dll   (GNUC/not dependent on exceptions)
-
-The GNU library archive file names have changed to:
-
-	libpthreadGCE.a
-        libpthreadGC.a
-
-
-Other name changes
-------------------
-
-All snapshots prior to and including snapshot 2000-08-13
-used "_pthread_" as the prefix to library internal
-functions, and "_PTHREAD_" to many library internal
-macros. These have now been changed to "ptw32_" and "PTW32_"
-respectively so as to not conflict with the ANSI standard's
-reservation of identifiers beginning with "_" and "__" for
-use by compiler implementations only.
-
-If you have written any applications and you are linking
-statically with the pthreads-win32 library then you may have
-included a call to _pthread_processInitialize. You will
-now have to change that to ptw32_processInitialize.
-
-
-Building under VC++ using C++ EH, Structured EH, or just C
-----------------------------------------------------------
-
-From the source directory run one of the following:
-
-nmake clean VCE	(builds the VC++ C++ EH version pthreadVCE.dll)
-
-or:
-
-nmake clean VSE	(builds the VC++ structured EH version pthreadVSE.dll)
-
-or:
-
-nmake clean VC	(builds the VC setjmp/longjmp version of pthreadVC.dll)
-
-You can run the testsuite by changing to the "tests" directory and
-running the target corresponding to the DLL version you built:
-
-nmake clean VCE
-
-or:
-
-nmake clean VSE
-
-or:
-
-nmake clean VC
-
-
-Building under Mingw32
-----------------------
-
-The dll can be built with Mingw32 gcc-2.95.2-1 after you've
-made the changes to Mingw32 desribed in Question 6 of the FAQ.
-
-From the source directory, run
-
-make clean GCE
-
-or:
-
-make clean GC
-
-You can run the testsuite by changing to the "tests" directory and
-running
-
-make clean GCE
-
-or:
-
-make clean GC
-
-
-Building the library under Cygwin
----------------------------------
-
-Not tested by me although I think some people have done this.
-Not sure how successfully though.
-
-Cygwin is implementing it's own POSIX threads routines and these
-will be the ones to use if you develop using Cygwin.
-
-
-Ready to run binaries
----------------------
-
-For convenience, the following ready-to-run files can be downloaded
-from the FTP site (see under "Availability" below):
-
-	pthread.h
-	semaphore.h
-	sched.h
-	pthread.def
-	pthreadVCE.dll	- built with MSVC++ compiler using C++ EH
-	pthreadVCE.lib
-	pthreadVC.dll	- built with MSVC compiler using C setjmp/longjmp
-	pthreadVC.lib
-	pthreadVSE.dll	- built with MSVC compiler using SEH
-	pthreadVSE.lib
-	pthreadGCE.dll	- built with Mingw32 G++
-	pthreadGCE.a	- derived from pthreadGCE.dll
-	pthreadGC.dll	- built with Mingw32 GCC
-	pthreadGC.a	- derived from pthreadGC.dll
-        gcc.dll         - needed to build and run applications that use
-                          pthreadGCE.dll.
-
-
-Building applications with the library
---------------------------------------
-
-Use the appropriate DLL and LIB files to match the exception handing
-that you use in your application, or specifically, in your POSIX
-threads. Don't mix them or neither thread cancelation nor
-pthread_exit() will work reliably if at all.
-
-If in doubt use the C (no-exceptions) versions of the library.
-
-
-Building applications with GNU compilers
-----------------------------------------
-
-If you're using pthreadGCE.dll:
-
-Use gcc-2.95.2-1 or later modified as per pthreads-win32 FAQ question 6.
-
-With the three header files, pthreadGCE.dll, gcc.dll and libpthreadGCE.a
-in the same directory as your application myapp.c, you could compile,
-link and run myapp.c under Mingw32 as follows:
-
-	gcc -x c++ -o myapp.exe myapp.c -I. -L. -lpthreadGCE
-	myapp
-
-Or put pthreadGCE.dll and gcc.dll in an appropriate directory in
-your PATH, put libpthreadGCE.a in MINGW_ROOT\i386-mingw32\lib, and
-put the three header files in MINGW_ROOT\i386-mingw32\include,
-then use:
-
-	gcc -x c++ -o myapp.exe myapp.c -lpthreadGCE
-	myapp
-
-If you're using pthreadGC.dll:
-
-With the three header files, pthreadGC.dll and libpthreadGC.a in the
-same directory as your application myapp.c, you could compile, link
-and run myapp.c under Mingw32 as follows:
-
-	gcc -o myapp.exe myapp.c -I. -L. -lpthreadGC
-	myapp
-
-Or put pthreadGC.dll in an appropriate directory in your PATH,
-put libpthreadGC.a in MINGW_ROOT\i386-mingw32\lib, and
-put the three header files in MINGW_ROOT\i386-mingw32\include,
-then use:
-
-	gcc -o myapp.exe myapp.c -lpthreadGC
-	myapp
-

-Acknowledgements
-----------------
-
-Pthreads-win32 is based substantially on a Win32 Pthreads
-implementation contributed by John E. Bossom.
-Many others have contributed important new code,
-improvements and bug fixes. Thanks go to Alexander Terekhov
-and Louis Thomas for their improvements to the implementation
-of condition variables.
-
-See the 'CONTRIBUTORS' file for the list of contributors.
-
-As much as possible, the ChangeLog file also attributes
-contributions and patches that have been incorporated
-in the library.
