pthreads in YahooPOPs

[Andrew Lynch <lynchaj at yahoo dot com>]

Hi,
I am trying to build YahooPOPs for Linux 

http://sourceforge.net/projects/yahoopops 

on Cygwin but have run into a problem with pthreads.  

The lines below do not compile even though Cygwin
supports pthreads and pthread.h is included in the
header file.

lock.__m_reserved = 0;
lock.__m_count = 0;
lock.__m_owner = 0;
lock.__m_kind = PTHREAD_MUTEX_TIMED_NP;
lock.__m_lock.__status = 0;
lock.__m_lock.__spinlock = __LT_SPINLOCK_INIT;

Does anyone know why these pthread commands(?) are not
supported or won't compile?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Andrew Lynch

PS, I am also helping the author of SaveMyModem debug
that software.  It now builds under Cygwin and many of
the bugs have been found and fixed.  Give it a try,
(cvs version only).  Hopefully, version 0.14 will be
out soon and much improved.
