The Winpthreads Library for Zig
Based on: https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/10989 solved: https://github.com/ziglang/zig/pull/22156 (Zig v0.14.0)
Zig v0.6 ~ v0.13.0 toolchain/MinGW don’t includes winpthreads.
This library provides POSIX threading APIs for mingw-w64.
For maximum compatibility, winpthreads headers expose APIs without the
dllimport attribute by default. If your program is linked against the
DLL, you may define the WINPTHREADS_USE_DLLIMPORT macro to add the
dllimport attribute to all APIs, which makes function calls to them a
bit more efficient.
How to use
Requires: zig v0.12.0 or v0.13.0
- Make a project:
mkdir your-project-folder
cd your-project-folder
# generate both (exe and lib template w/ build.zig & build.zig.zon)
zig init
# get latest version (commit-tag or branch)
zig fetch git+https://github.com/kassane/winpthreads-zigbuild#main
- Add on current project:
# (w/ build.zig & build.zig.zon)
cd your-project-folder
# get latest version
zig fetch git+https://github.com/kassane/winpthreads-zigbuild#main # or #commit-tag
Warn: main branch changes commit hashes.
