3331A typical way to use libev under windows is to embed it (see the embedding
3332section for details) and use the following F<evwrap.h> header file instead
3333of F<ev.h>:
3334
3335 #define EV_STANDALONE /* keeps ev from requiring config.h */
3336 #define EV_SELECT_IS_WINSOCKET 1 /* configure libev for windows select */
3337 #define EV_STAT_ENABLE 0 /* no stat() availble */
3338
3339 #include "ev.h"
3340
3341And compile the following F<evwrap.c> file into your project (make sure
3342you do I<not> compile the F<ev.c> or any other embedded soruce files!):
3343
3344 #include "evwrap.h"
3345 #include "ev.c"

3355C runtime provides the function C<_open_osfhandle> for this). See the
