thread support in Windows: problem

[vijayasarathy setsindia net]

Hi all,

I am trying to run a simple(st) thread example in GTK with a
windows-MinGW-Msys development environment(please refer to
http://library.gnome.org/devel/gdk/unstable/gdk-Threads.html Eric's code
for the code I ran), and Mingw unfortunately doesnt provide thread headers
and libraries[pthread.h is unavailable].

I did some googling and found out a website which provides thread support
fo r win32 app development. I have copied the headers[pthread.h, sched.h
and semaphore.h] into the mingw include folder, and I have copied the
libraries for threads all into mingw lib folder. I even use a -Lpath
during compilation of my thread application. Program compiles but the
executable fails to link to the downloaded libraries[which I have supplied
in the -L and l options to gcc]. Message tells me "dll not found".


I thought it might have something to do with registering the DLL with the
OS, and so I used regsvr32 to get DLL registered, but registration somehow
failed[I am not a geek and so I was not able to figure out why it failed].

Someone help in making it work pls.
