pthread_cond_signal function is missing on Windows port

[joshua_mora]

Hi,
pthread API for Windows is implemented in quarkwinthread
but
pthread_cond_signal function is missing in quarkwinthread.c

That is the only function that prevents the build under Windows with VS.

Hi Joshua,

As you can tell, the Windows port for QUARK is out of date.
We implemented a subset of the Pthreads so that users would not have to
be concerned with installing their own threads library.
However, we don't have the resources to focus on the Windows port at
present, but there may be a couple of simple (untested by us) solutions.

You could consider linking with the Pthread-Win32 library (LGPL licensed)
http://www.sourceware.org/pthreads-win32/

Or, there is a header based implementation that should be an easy drop-in.
Replace quarkwinthread.h with the file at
http://locklessinc.com/articles/pthreads_on_windows/ (BSD licensed)
http://locklessinc.com/downloads/
Remove quarkwinthread.c from the build.

Please let us know if these suggestions worked for you.
Regards,
Asim

Thanks Asim.
I just tried both.

http://locklessinc.com I run into compilation problems.

http://www.sourceware.org/pthreads-win32/ works fine.
Just removing quarkwinthread.[h/c] and replacing #include to point to pthread.h then linking against provided static libray and making sure the PATH var points to the directory with dlls of pthread\dlls\[arch].
