Re: Using GNUstep with MINGW

[Helge Hess]

Hi,

I've encountered that problem with libFoundation as well. I'm pretty
sure that a Win32 runloop core needs to be rewritten completly, based on
multithreading where a thread waits on one specific event source.
This can be useful for Unix as well, eg if you want to support SHM for
DO communications (not everything is select'able in Unix as well).

BTW: What exactly do you want to wait for ?

Greetings
