Why are you trying to stack two I/O abstraction layers? The whole point of libuv is that it lets you use the same code on *ix and Windows. Why do you also need Cygwin? I realize that libuv doesn’t completely abstract the platform, but there are a bunch of libraries that you can use together to achieve that. libapr for general OS facilities, Qt/Gtk for GUIs, etc. Presumably you’re interested in libuv rather than select(2) because you need the code to be really fast and scalable. So again, why bring Cygwin into it? That’s just going to eat up a bunch of the speed you gained by using advanced I/O polling mechanisms. If you’re just trying to get node running, why not use the native binaries? -- 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
