Re: [Mingw-cross-env-list] Error cross-compiling for 32-bit windows from 640bit linux using mxe

[Gerardo Ballabio]

If that is required for a specific package to compile, it seems logical to set it as default for that package. Can it be done, and how? Do you expect any issues if some packages are compiled with ".posix" and some others without?

Thanks

That is using c++11 threads - you either need to build mxe with `MXE_TARGETS=i686-w64-mingw32.static.posix` (just add `.posix` to your current targets) or use an alternate thread implementation like https://github.com/meganz/mingw-std-threads
