Didn't work for me, tested already few days ago. Geany compiled fine but the geany.dll is still linked against libwinpthread-1.dll. I also tried all the other static compilation variants which can be found on the first two search result pages from Google :(. Then I tried to remove the dll from my system, just hoping it will magically compile somehow without it but again no luck. If I understand http://sourceforge.net/p/mingw-w64/mailman/message/31213279/ correctly, it is indeed a toolchain issue. If the assumptions in this thread are true, it depends on how gcc is built, whether it uses POSIX threads or Windows threads. While playing around, I noticed that also Midori and the OwnCloud Windows client comes with the libwinpthread-1.dll distributed. Probably they got the same issue. Since I can't spend even more time on this, I will include this .dll into the 1.25 installer. And I'm looking forward that the post-1.25 Windows installers are completely created using MSYS2 which seems not to have this dependency.
