[Bf-committers] Pthreads Redeclaration on cmake MinGW64 Error

[Jeffrey H]

Antony,

That would be fantastic. I'm under the impression there are a few extra
features and fixes that could be worth exploring, such as a fix for
MAX_PATH.

Jared,

I've found the latest version I can use is 4.7.3 (ex:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingwbuilds/files/host-windows/releases/4.7.3/64-bit/threads-win32/sjlj/x64-4.7.3-release-win32-sjlj-rev1.7z/download),
which I use for my own builds daily. Anything newer than 4.7.x will not
work and will likely end with linking errors on blender.exe or pthreads;
those are the usual errors I get with recent versions, anyway. If newer
versions work for you, that's wonderful, but only 4.7.1 is supported.
