In uw-imap/c-client, the functionality of flock is emulated. Take a look in the osdep/unix directory of the uw-imap sources. As for the linker errors, there are a couple of different things to check. How are you linking libc-client? If you are using -L and -l, try instead to explicitly put /lib/libc-client.a in the linker line alongside all of your .o files.
One other thing you may be able to try if you just want the flock emulator is to snag the flockcyg.h and flockcyg.c from the sources (check the licensing stuff first) and see if you can add them to your build environment without sucking in all of the c-client stuff. Again, check the licensing stuff first :) -Abe -----Original Message----- > Cygwin doesn't have flock() or lockf() . > > -- Elfyn > Right, but there is a work-around, yes? Isn't that what uw-imap is doing in this case with flockcyg.h? If so, I'm curious if I might be able to use the same work-around.
