rustc can't find libpthread-2.dll, mingw ships with pthreadGC2.dll

[cnd]

Why rustc depends on libpthread-2.dll and not on pthreadGC2.dll ?

Should I get some older version of mingw / msys ?

[klutzy]

MinGW renamed dll: pthreadGC2.dll -> libpthread-2.dll.

with renamed, rustc.exe from i686-pc-mingw32\stage0\bin fails with 0xc000000005

downgrade your mingw version from 4.7.x to 4.6.x.

[cnd]

how?

as this wiki ( https://github.com/mozilla/rust/wiki/Note-getting-started-developing-Rust ) suggested I used mingw-get-inst http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/

And it's not clear for me how to downgrade it... It also will be great to add it to wiki page thought.

@Heather I think mingw-get upgrade "gcc<4.6" and mingw-get upgrade "g++<4.6" on msys will work, as the doc states.

@klutzy thanks
