Actually i have encountered this issue, but haven't had the time and nerve to deal with it in the Windows batch file "language". It's a quite tricky issue and i am not sure it is really solvable. But contributions are welcome! gr~~~
Hi Thomas, I tried putting the pd-extended install in a root directory with no spaces and I still get the errors listed in the previous email.
The build instructions say that mingw on windows is a tested configuration. I'm using the only pthreads implementation for mingw I can find which is at: http://sourceware.org/pthreads-win32/
I've got the header in path-to-pd/include and the dll/lib stuff in path-to-pd/bin. I've even tried renaming to pthread.dll but it doesn't make a difference.
Which pthreads implementation did you use to test mingw? Do you have a copy of the libs/headers you can send me?

Hi list, Just an fyi and question about building flext on winxp using mingw:
from build.txt: "Please be aware that the build system might have difficulties handling paths with spaces."
Unclear whether this statement only applies to the directory in which you are building flext or everything including your installation of pd. If it is the latter then this is confused by the fact that config-win-pd-mingw seems to point by default to % ProgramFiles%\pd which is guaranteed to have spaces in it.
With English locale, yes. If you have a Windows in German Language, this path might indeed does not contain spaces. Considering the author of flext is German speaking, he might not have anticipated this very issue.
Just a guess.
