This means that the gnulib sigaction module (a dependency of fatal-signal) has not yet been ported to Interix. I don't have access to Interix, so I'm not in a position to write the patch. Care to offer a hand? In general, Interix developers are very much under-represented on the gnulib lists, and without someone contributing to gnulib who actually cares about this platform, we won't be able to promise much portability to Interix, since it is a very far cry from Posix-compliant. > 0 ~>grep SA_ /usr/include/* > /usr/include/signal.h:#define SA_NOCLDSTOP 0x00000001 > /usr/include/signal.h:#define SA_RESTART 0x00000002 > /usr/include/signal.h:#define SA_RESETHAND 0x00000004 Obviously, Interix does not meet the assumptions made for mingw, which is the primary other system that is very lacking when it comes to sigaction support. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
