I've read= in the FAQ=20 that the suggested way to build pthreads is using Mingw32 with the MSVCRT=20 library. But all the links to Mingw32 seems very old (from the previous=20 millenium) and some links doesn't even exist anylonger.

So what i= s the=20 answer today, how should I build pthreads?

And if th= e answer=20 still is that I should use Mingw32 from where do I get it and the other stu= ff=20 that I may need?

I have Cy= gwin 1.0=20 and VC++ 6.0 on Win2000. I also have a collegue who have the same environme= nt as=20 I do except for VC++ which he doesn't want to install if doesn't have to (h= e's=20 working in another project and they don't use VC++).

Thanks,

Magnus

The site looks relatively new. Like you, I've found locating Mingw32 packages difficult in the past. I'm still using the older version of Mingw. I don't know, in particular, whether Thomas Pfaff's instructions in the pthreads-win32 FAQ are needed with newer versions of mingw to get multi-threaded exception handling working. This is only required if you use mingw to build versions of pthreads-win32 that use C++ exception handling internally (it's used in thread cancelation but is not strictly necessary). You can build a standard C version of the library that only uses setjmp/longjmp in thread cancelation and exit (thanks again to Thomas). Cygwin has been adding it's own pthreads support but I don't know exactly where they are up to. I know that people are running the pthreads-win32 test suite against cygwin, but again, I don't know what the failure rate is.
