2. I did run into a missing pthread error after building which was fixed with the following in the mingw platform section of the configure.ac

   # statically link pthread into the exe, otherwise we get a missing dll error LIBS="-Wl,-Bstatic -static $LIBS -Wl,-Bdynamic"

but that links in *all* libraries statically (not just pthreads).

It shouldn't as static is set, then pthread linked, then dynamic reset afterwards. In any case, it's probably not needed and the issue I ran into is more related to the Msys2 / MinGW setup I put together.

iirc, a number of externals rely on Pd providing things like pthreadVC.dll. so if we have to provide a few dlls anyhow, i don't see much merit in static linking.

e.g. this fixed the runtime problem for me: cp /usr/i686-w64-mingw32/lib/libwinpthread-1.dll bin/

My static linking fix worked for me but I can definitely see issues for externals. We need to then find the dll & copy it to the pd/bin folder programmatically with autoconfi/automake...

in any case, i think the actual wish.exe should be specifiable on the cmdline. make WISHAPP=desire.exe

Yes, although I'd suggest a configure option like --prefix:

./configure --wish=desire.exe
