Jie,

LIBCMT is the Microsoft implementation of the C runtime, and is compiled
using the microsoft c compiler. CYGWIN is another implementation of the a
unix-style C runtime, and the two of them don't mix.

The _beginthread and _endthread calls are Microsoft specific extensions to
the C standard; they respectively start and end a thread, performing
Microsoft C runtime initialization and cleanup. The corresponding Cygwin
primitives are called posix_create and posix_end.

You may get lucky and get your code working by just substituting
pthread_create for beginthread, and pthread_exit for endthread. Mind the
function signatures and return types though. For more about
pthread_create/exit, check the man page at:

Hi,

Is LIBCMT.LIB available with CYGWIN gcc? If not, what is an better
alternatives?

I have a C program for a device that calls _beginthread and _endthread
directly. I have only CYGWIN gcc on my Windows XP now. MSDN has
LIBCMT.LIB.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please send your reply to

Regards,

Jie
