[Discuss-gnuradio] pthreads / NT Threads under win32

[Eric Blossom]

Can any of you who build GNU Radio under MinGW or Cygwin please let me
know whether our omnithread implementation ends up using pthreads or
NT threads?  

You should be able to tell by looking at the output from running
configure.  If you see a message "checking for NT threads" it means we
didn't find pthreads.

Why I ask, is that I'm considering removing the support for NT
Threads in gr_omnithread.  If we did this, we could then take advantage
of the posix thread cancellation features, which aren't currently
available in the omnithread interface.

Thanks,
Eric
