Hi,
I think its better to check which library exists.
I have mine renamed to "libpthread.a" in MinGW because many packages
expect it to be called libpthread.
I'm fine with this change if the majority agrees to it.
I agree, check for library is most appropriate.
pthreads-w32 isn't a standard part of MinGW, and pthreads-w32 isn't
the only pthreads implementation that you can use with MinGW.
(Quick look). No, my MinGW doesn't have it - after all the point of
MinGW is to provide a native Windows API GCC, not POSIX emulation.
If this were Autoconf, I'd write:
AC_SEARCH_LIBS([pthread_create], [pthread pthreadGC2])
Not that "-lpthread" isn't always correct on other platforms - even if
it compiles.
