[Mingw-users] C++11 thread support in 4.8.1 ?

[Aleksey Y. <ale...@gm...>]

Hello, I've just installed MinGW Ver 4.8.1 on my Windows XP laptop, hoping
to play with C++11 threads, but got an error message:

g++ -g -std=c++11  tc001.cpp -o latest
tc001.cpp: In function 'int main()':
tc001.cpp:24:3: error: 'thread' is not a member of 'std'
   std::thread t(f);
   ^
tc001.cpp:24:15: error: expected ';' before 't'
   std::thread t(f);
               ^
tc001.cpp:25:3: error: 't' was not declared in this scope
   t.join();
   ^
make.exe": *** [tc001] Error 1

----------------------------------- My source code:

#include <iostream>
#include <thread>

using std::cout;
using std::endl;

void f()
{
  cout << "Hello!" << endl;
}

int main()
{
  std::thread t(f);
  t.join();
}

--------------------------------- My makefile:

MAIN = tc001
CFLAGS += -g -std=c++11
CC = g++

.SUFFIXES: .o .c .cpp

.c:    ;${CC} ${CFLAGS} ${LDFLAGS} $< -o latest ${LDLIBS}
.cpp:    ;${CC} ${CFLAGS} ${LDFLAGS} $< -o latest ${LDLIBS}

.c.o:    ;${CC} ${CFLAGS} -c $<
.cpp.o:    ;${CC} ${CFLAGS} -c $<

build: ${MAIN}

clean:;    rm -fr core *.o latest.exe

---------------------------------

What might be wrong? Does 4.8.1 support std::thread? I can see the "thread"
include file in the MInGW tree...

Please help,
Thanks,
