I think the confusion is that the minimal plugin is trying to use the Unix 
event dispatcher (which is provided by the platformsupport library). In other 
words: the minimal plugin requires Unix.

If the OS the original poster is porting to is not POSIX-compliant, he'll need 
to write another platform plugin.
