I'm pretty sure I tried the -mthreads switch when I was looking to see whether std::thread was supported. I may not have spoken the precisely proper incantation, but as far as I could tell, -mthreads didn't do the trick. (The term I chose, "disabled," probably has the wrong connotation, as I don't think std::thread is working and can be enabled. Rather, I think that (the specific gcc implementation of) std::thread depends on code that hasn't been ported to windows / mingw, and the #ifdef wrapper in the thread header file turns off code that would fail to compile because the necessary support isn't there.) Again, I speak of mingw 4.5, and not of mingw-w64 or version 4.6. > Ruben Do let me know if you discover otherwise. K.
