If you wnat a mingw pthread library see the pthread-win32 project. > 2) Put some cygwin specific libraries as libpthread.a in /usr/cygwin/lib > and add /usr/cygwin/lib to the specs? This _might_ do it. Still it requires breaking out the pthread functions, for little benefit and greater overhead. Why not add the win32-pthread functions somewhere and add that to the -mno-cygwin specs?
