 Building applications with GNU compilers

 ----------------------------------------

 

-[Please see the section on Known Bugs above and the section

-dealing with building the library with Mingw32 before

-you build applications using the GNU compilers. Please also

-note that the pre-built pthreadGCE.dll is currently only

-a copy of the dll built by MSVC++. Note that VC++ and

-GNU exception handling is implemented completely differently

-and so automatic cleanup of objects and the propagation of

-exceptions themselves between the two schemes is not

-Use gcc-2.95.2 or later.

+Use gcc-2.95.2-1 or later modified as per pthreads-win32 FAQ question 6.

 

 With pthreadGCE.dll and libpthreadw32.a in the same directory as your

 application myapp.c, you could compile, link and run myapp.c under
