Hi Jonathan, thanks for your feedback - i have to admit i haven't run mingw (or even Windows) for years. It's almost a surprise that it still works with some tweaking. I would be thankful for a diff to patch the flext build system according to your findings. gr~~~
Once I get through it and compile a few externals successfully I'll send you one. The nice thing with mingw is that it's _min_imal and-- if I understand it-- you can use the binaries without needing to have mingw (or cygwin) installed on the system. Plus its free beer/freedom. :)
-Jonathan

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!
Found it in: buildsys/win/pd/gnumake-mingw
The -lpthreadVC flag must come last. (Not sure how you got it to compile that way.)
But with the newest version of mingw-get-inst the real solution is to remove the entire ifdef around setting those flags because pthread is included with mingw (contrary to the mingw documentation which explicitly says its missing).
Also the -mno-cygwin flag is no longer supported and will break the compilation so it must be removed.
