[Libevent-users] [PATCH] configure: don't disable check for pthreads on Windows

[Bobby Powers <bobbypowers@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi folks,

I ran into a small issue when building libevent 2.0.16-stable under mingw32.  The current configure script disables searching for pthreads when building for Windows, but this is actually a pthreads implementation (pthreads-win32) that may be available.  This patch fixes configure to always look for pthreads, as long as threading support is enabled.

I'm new to building for Windows, so let me know if I'm overlooking anything here :)

yours,

Bobby

Subject: [PATCH] configure: don't disable check for pthreads on Windows

Some distros such as Fedora package pthreads-win32, a pthreads library
for Windows.  In order to use libevent in multithreaded applications
which use this, configure needs to be able to test for pthreads
support while $bwin32 is true.
