MinGW - Minimalist GNU for Windows Files

mingw pthreads
==============================================================================
This distribution is created from pristine source without patches.

The optional QueueUserAPCEx driver and client dll are not included in this
release.  That decision was made due to the number of downloads for the
optional feature and due to the fact that I wanted to deliver pristine source.
The previous release modified the build options to add -mms-bitfields.  This
release did not add that option to the build machinery as an effort to provide
the release in pristine condition.  This will cause ABI issues so this pthreads
release should only be used with the gcc-2.8.1 release.  This release includes
the GC-static version of the static library instead of a copy of the DLL import
library.  This means that you might need to call some initializations for the
static library to work.  See the pthreads-win32 homepage for instructions.

Build requirements:
  MinGW gcc and g++ runtime environment
  MSYS shell environment include msys-xz

Build instructions:
  cd working-directory
  mingw-get source mingw32-pthreads
  cd pthreads-w32-2.9.1-1-mingw32-src
  make clean package
  # See the output of make usage for a detailed list of targets
  # You can edit package.ini to modify the configuration items or to increment
  # the MPKGRLS value (the -1- after the mingw32).

When the job completes the release files will be generated in the rls directory
of the working directory.
