So, a missing libpthread.a or libpthread.dll.a dependency; thanks for
bringing this to our attention.

You should install the libpthreadgc-dev package; (from the CLI):

  mingw-get install libpthreadgc-dev

(or, if you are a GUI junkie, run mingw-get in GUI mode -- DO NOT run
mingw-get-setup.exe again -- scroll down until you find it, and
install it from there).

Of course, mingw-get should have known about this dependency, when you
installed GCC; I need to fix that, but a manual installation is still
going to be the quickest and easiest way to get you up and running.


Here is what i do:
I delete MinGW folder. Then setup again from new. Then when I mark for installation for mingw-developer-toolkit, mingw32-base, mingw32-gcc-ada, mingw32-gcc-fortran, mingw32-gcc-g++, mingw32-gcc-objc, msys-base. Then apply. It turn out that some packages can't download in 1st try. Still there is mark for installation for those package that not yet downloaded. All I need to do is apply changes again until they all downloaded and installed.

Noted when I mark for installation of mingw32-base, it also mark for install libpthreadgc-dev and libpthreadgc-dll. Which is the answered by Keith.

That is solved linking problem.

Thankyou
