Re: Borland Builder

["Dr. Michael Heitland \(caatoosee ag\)" <michael dot heitland at caatoosee dot com>]

Hello,

I did already the port to generate a static BCB6 library.
- create a new project 'pthreads_bcb6' for a static library
- set compiler switch (= preprocessor #define) NEED_ERRNO;NEED_FTIME
- set all warnings but not 8004 and 8057
- choose release target
- modify the following sources as I have attached: 'pthread.c',
'need_errno.h' and  ''ptw32_InterlockedCompareExchange.c'

Greetings,
Dr. Michael Heitland
