[Xcb] Fwd: xcb win32 port

[Jeetu Golani]

Hi everyone,

Here's a followup on the mail I had sent to the list yesterday from
Duy who's been interested in the Win32 port.As the mail states the
patches work for now so we do have an independent verification of
them. He has managed to add to the patches though I haven't gone
through them yet. Duy from what I understand your patches eliminate
the need for pthread.h but the pthread.dll is still required. Since
pthread.h is also required in the UNIX build of XCB I'm not sure of
the exact benefit of this and would appreciate more clarification.
Comments from the community would be appreciated here too.

Also I have been using the win32 port of XCB quite a bit under windows
and so far it seems to be holding up. Duy your continued feedback here
would be appreciated. Please join the list so we could all hear from
you.

We now seem to have independent verification of this.....guys what's next?

Bye for now

Thank you for the quick response! It built and ran well with xcb's
"hello world". I'm going to write an X11 systray on Windows so I plan
to give feedback later when I have something that exercises win32 port
more than just showing a window.

BTW, I modified your patches a bit, on top of mine, which would remove
pthread.h requirement for development. This way you can distribute
your dll, pthread dlls  and a couple xcb header files and people can
start developing straight away. I thought I'd send this just in case
you have someone interesting in the port and want to test out.

Cheers,
