-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2012-2619 2012-02-28 20:31:23 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : mingw32-pthreads Product : Fedora 17 Version : 2.8.0 Release : 17.20110511cvs.fc17 URL : http://sourceware.org/pthreads-win32/ Summary : MinGW pthread library Description : The POSIX 1003.1-2001 standard defines an application programming interface (API) for writing multithreaded applications. This interface is known more commonly as pthreads. A good number of modern operating systems include a threading library of some kind: Solaris (UI) threads, Win32 threads, DCE threads, DECthreads, or any of the draft revisions of the pthreads standard. The trend is that most of these systems are slowly adopting the pthreads standard API, with application developers following suit to reduce porting woes. Win32 does not, and is unlikely to ever, support pthreads natively. This project seeks to provide a freely available and high-quality solution to this problem. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Rebuild all mingw32 packages against the mingw-w64 toolchain -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #758911 - libgio-2.0-0.dll does not work on Windows 2000 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=758911 [ 2 ] Bug #673792 - Review Request: mingw-crt - MinGW Windows cross-compiler runtime https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=673792 [ 3 ] Bug #673790 - Review Request: mingw-headers - MinGW Windows cross-compiler header files https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=673790 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
