compiling problems using pthreads with mingw 4.2.3 g++

[Lutz v. Grafenstein]

Dear all

using pthreads with mingw g++ (version3.4.2) i end with strange compiler 
errors. i do not have those issues with gcc (i.e. C code, not C++), or 
also VC++. also similar  code compiled fine on a linux machine/SUSE 
9.1/g++.

maybe this is a known issue? the errors below are produced with an older 
snapshot of the headers, but with  the latest release 2-8-0 i get get 
similar problems in oleidl.h: here i suspect something wrong with the 
windows.h or make i am using (it is from the mingw distribution), but 
have no evidence.

thanks,

Lutz

Please disregard my last post: i found that macro definitions (clashing 
with windows stuff) included before pthreads caused the mentioned 
problems with pthreads release 2-8-0. no problems so far when removing 
the macros.

Cheers,

Lutz
