I'll look into implementing pthread_spinlocks for the next Cygwin release.
It'd be really cool. I guess, then it means something that you are "Cygwin Project Co-Leader". :)
But that will take some time, right now we're rather busy with two problems in the current release.
Yes, sure.
btw: I once pondered about purchasing a cygwin license, I even went as far as submitted a form on redhat.com, that we'd be interested. But I got nothing back. I've since dropped that project, but knowing more details about cygwin options would be useful. Can you contact me to someone who can help me? Thanks in advance.
I'm a bit surprised. Cygwin is an Open Source project just like syslog-ng. You don't need a license, unless you try to link a proprietary project to the Cygwin DLL. See http://cygwin.com/licensing.html Just start here: http://cygwin.com/ and run the setup.exe tool from the homepage to install the Cygwin net distro with all the latest tools available. For the User's Guide, see http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/cygwin-ug-net.html There's also a bunch of mailing lists, see http://cygwi.com/lists.html. The cygwin AT cygwin DOT com mailing list is the central point of contact. If you really need a commercial license for a proprietary project, just contact me off-list.
