Converting UNIX C++ code to Windows

[TickingOrange]

Hi,
I am relatively new to C++ and what I am doing is trying to convert some C++ code written for LINUX/MAC to run on windows. I think signal handling is not as developed for Windows but the error I am getting is that the struct I am trying to use is undefined. I have #include <csignal> at the top and the line giving the problem simply says "struct signal act;". Any pointers or is signal a LINUX native command?

<csignal> header is available on windows:

All C(++) standard headers are platform-independent (meaning they should have similar result and interactions between different OS and hardwares, if available). I'd find it hard to believe that any viable platform that has a C or C++ compiler doesn't contain csignal.
