The LinuxThreads library. LinuxThreads is an implementation of the Posix 1003.1c thread package for Linux. Unlike other implementations of Posix threads for Linux, LinuxThreads provides kernel-level threads: threads are created with the new clone() system call and all scheduling is done in the kernel. The main strength of this approach is that it can take full advantage of multiprocessors.
It also results in a simpler, more robust thread library, especially w.r.t. blocking system calls. For more information, see the LinuxThreads README and the LinuxThreads Frequently Asked Questions. Warning LinuxThreads is now obsolete and is being replaced by NPTL. The information on this Web page has not been updated in a while and may not be 100% up to date.
General questions about LinuxThreads and programming with POSIX threads should be posted on the comp.programming.threads newsgroup. Obtaining LinuxThreads For Linux systems based on glibc 2 (e.g. Documentation LinuxThreads-related software.

Cygwin. Get that Linux feeling - on Windows What... ...is it? Cygwin is: a large collection of GNU and Open Source tools which provide functionality similar to a Linux distribution on Windows. a DLL (cygwin1.dll) which provides substantial POSIX API functionality. ...isn't it? Cygwin is not: a way to run native Linux apps on Windows. The Cygwin DLL currently works with all recent, commercially released x86 32 bit and 64 bit versions of Windows, starting with Windows XP SP3.
For more information see the FAQ. Current Cygwin DLL version The most recent version of the Cygwin DLL is 1.7.29. Use the setup program to perform a fresh install or to update an existing installation. Note that individual packages in the distribution are updated separately from the DLL so the Cygwin DLL version is not useful as a general Cygwin release number.
