Re: mknod implementation? any idea when it will occur?


James,

Please clarify what use your software makes of mknod.

Do I guess correctly that what you really want are named pipes?

I am porting some code from a linux / unix environment that views solid
models thru geomview.  I have the latest cygwin release installed 1.3.20.
My problem is that the mknod function does not exist.  Are there any plans
to implement a working version of mknod and not just the dummy version that
tells me it's not implemented.  I can create some ugly workarounds but I
would prefer not altering the code.  If I knew the mknod function was going
to be implemented in the near future I would avoid going down this nasty
path.

Any info would be appreciated

Jim
