Re: [PD-dev] Versions for MinGW setup

Hallo!

Yeah, I compiled the latest version, 2.7.0, and apparently there is a change in the DLL format so its not binary compatible. Therefore, I got pthreadGC2.dll. Anyone used this new version with Pd? Shall I just stick with the old version?

hm ... I used pthreadGC.dll - what is the difference to pthreadGC2.dll ?

This won't be a problem. The Windows installer build system will be all based on MinGW, compiled at one time, therefore, they'll all use the same DLL.

okay ... great !

Just an other MinGW question: I have really problems with read() from <io.h> in windows when used from a child thread (always get -1 as return value) ... has anyone an idea what this could be ?

LG Georg
