Compiling with pthreads

[David Shaw]

Hi,

I've been testing out the cross compiler, and I've come across
something that seems odd.

Using this file:

  #include <stdio.h>
  #include <pthread.h>

  int
  main(int argc,char *argv[])
  {
    printf("Hi there.  I'm trying to include pthread.h\n");
    return 0;
  }

If I compile it with regular old gcc, it works fine, as expected.  If
I compile it with the cross compiler, however, I get:

$ i686-pc-mingw32-gcc tester.c
tester.c:2:21: error: pthread.h: No such file or directory

I do have the mingw32-pthreads-2.8.0-4.fc10.noarch package installed.

The issue seems to be that the pthread.h header from that package is:
  /usr/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/include/pthread/pthread.h
and not:
  /usr/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/include/pthread.h

I can make it work with
"-I/usr/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/include/pthread", of course,
but I wonder if this is something that should just work without
specifying a special include directory.
