Linker errors when compiling simple pthread code in MingW

I am trying to compile a single C ++ source file test.cpp that has very simple code that demonstrates pthread_create (); pthread_cond_signal / pthread_cond_wait ().

I installed Mingw / Ansys on Windows XP, where I work. At the invitation of MingW:

g++ -IC:/MinGW/include/ -lpthread test.cpp 
//-IC:/MinGW/include to get pthread.h
//-LC:/MinGW/bin to get pthreadGC2.dll

Cpp includes pthread.h as:

#include <pthread.h>

But this gave me some undefined linker reference errors to all the functions of the pthread library.

What am I doing wrong here. Is it possible to build Pthread code in a MingW environment on windows or not?

How to resolve these errors?

You need to specify the library on the gcc / g ++ command line after the library dependent files. So try:

g++ -IC:/MinGW/include/ test.cpp -lpthread

, ( FAQ gcc). gcc , .

, pthread MinGW ( , ). , a.exe; pass -o test.exe, .
