If you just need the common thread callback function and a mutex, you can do that with the Windows API. It’s not too difficult.

See the old thread implementation used by OpenFrameworks which uses both pthread & win api, depending on the platform:

ofxThread.h https://github.com/openframeworks/openFrameworks/blob/6e7d325ec6f0046f281498797748da173a84aa7e/libs/openFrameworks/utils/ofThread.h ofxThread.cpp https://github.com/openframeworks/openFrameworks/blob/6e7d325ec6f0046f281498797748da173a84aa7e/libs/openFrameworks/utils/ofThread.cpp

Then you wouldn’t need to require win-pthreads32 or similar compatibility library when building.

yeah, derek was talking about our current development, where we screwed up with the order of bangs in the unthreaded - but fixed now.

Derek, would you care to elaborate why you think unthreaded should be the default?

I had some concerns with pthreads and Windows compat but it looks like those aren't issues (? I don't have much experience with Windows dev) so I think I would be fine either way.
