Lots of project such as node.js or neovim are using libuv (https://github.com/libuv/libuv) which is incompatible with Cygwin. I've spent some time trying to build it, but I get issues with pthread.
The first compilation error you'll get will look like "unknown type name 'pthread_barrier_t'" but that's actually pretty simple to work around in libuv. The harder part is the lack of support in Cygwin for epoll, inotify, and other async IO syscalls that libuv uses on unices. It might be possible to graft together a build configuration for libuv on Cygwin that uses WinAPI IOCP for the async parts but cygwin's posix layer for the rest, but it would be quite a bit of work. -Tony -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
