[gentoo-user] crossdev i686-w64-mingw32 threads

Hi all:

All the mingw-w64 windows builds have pthreads enabled and you can use
std::thread and std::mutex, how can I enable that in the gentoo crossdev
builds?

Found https://github.com/niXman/mingw-builds and
http://sourceforge.net/p/mingw/mailman/message/28014658/ but will I then
need to edit the ebuild to get it working?

Tried the pthread setup as explained on the wiki but then I can't use my
class dynamically in a program if it is using pthread_mutex.

Regards:
Cor

This might help:

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki//etc/portage/patches

if epatch-user does  not, then copy the ebuild to /usr/local/portage

and hack away at it, as you like. Repoman is your friend and companion
to the devmanual.

I'd ask on gentoo-dev or one of the irc channels.
Often I find  esoteric answers in the arch linux documents....


good hunting,
