It doesn't work: using pthread_win32 library installation with MSVC++6

[oliver dot kramer at ferrero dot de]

I read all the readable files. I followed all the instructions given in any
files. Even I recompile the sources but all i get is:

SIGNAL.exe - 7 Fehler, 6 Warnung(en)

After reading all the relevant postings in the whole usenet .... - please help!
What's going wrong? Urgent!

I tried to compile an example from "Pthread programming" (O'Reilly) =>
stat_sig_wait.c:
