Unfortunately for mingw, the OpenMP support in gcc 4 is implemented in terms of Posix threads. The win32 thread support is not there, yet. However, there have been reports on gcc gfortran list <fo...@gc...> of people using win32-pthreads emulation package to get OpenMP to work on gfortran. Presumably that means it will work on C programmes as well. > > If that's not going to happen for a while, I'm also wondering > whether it > would be possible to compile the latest version of GCC > myself.
