[Mingw-users] Statically link against pthread

[Radu R. <rad...@mi...>]

Hi,

Is there any easy way to statically link against pthread? Using
-lpthread always creates a dependency on pthreadGC2.dll, even when using
-static.

I also tried using libpthreadGC2.dll.a along with the other objects to
be linked when producing the executable (instead of using -lpthread),
but with no effect. I believe this is because libpthreadGC2.dll.a is
just an "import library" and I'm statically linking the import wrappers,
not the actual pthread functions.

Thanks,
