Getting std::thread/mutex to work under Win7 with mingw and g++ 4.7.2

Question

Greetings,

I\'ve recently moved out of my unix shelter to test a supposedly cross-platform networking library only to discover that mingw doesn\'t like to

Answer 1

These MinGW-w64 builds support C++11 threads,atomic operations etc.

1. MinGW-builds are now integrated into the MinGW-w64 project
2. MinGW-builds (project is old and will not be updated, see point above)
3. MinGW-w64 rubenvb 64-bit and 32-bit builds

Note that MinGW-w64 is not 64-bit only, but does support it, unlike the old MinGW(.org) which is missing quite a lot of the new Vista+ APIs, and of course 64-bit support.
