FW: building iperf 2.0.5b1 under cygwin

Sending to the list...

Hi Jon,
Thanks, the trunk built fine under cygwin. 
I was interested in the changes for cpu utilization when running as a
client. Or was that already in 2.0.4? (I only had the 1.7.0 windows
binary.) It works fine - so far - I've only done a quick test.
I'll try to give the VS patch a try sometime I have a chance.
