I found it pre-compiled on another gnu-win32 repository, and I could not get that to work either. If someone would like to help me out, please e-mail me and I will get into specifics. What I really want is to be able to get a character from stdin if there is one in the buffer, but if no key had been pressed the function would just return an error code. I used to use ioctl and select to do this, but that does not seem to work with cygnus' release. Please e-mail me directly if you have any advice. Thanks in advance!
