Hi All,

Just FYI, I've been working along with Stephen Kyne in the no-pthread
branch. We've gotten pretty far, having replaced direct use of
pthreads in most places with calls to Csound's thread API. (We still
need to implement barriers using Windows API calls.)  We've also
applied the changes reported by Rasmus here from December, at least,
the ones that weren't related to pthreads since that dependency was
removed.  There's still work to be done, but Stephen wrote me that 56
projects were building and 6 were failing at this time.

Stephen and I have been communicating on Slack in the #dev channel.
Anyone interested to help out in the effort is encouraged to join us
on Slack as well as to checkout the no-pthread branch and give it a
try.  I have been regularly building with Mingw as well, and spot
checking for builds continuing to work on Linux.  The plan at the
moment is once VS is working for a full build, I can merge the latest
from develop into no-pthread, then test build on Linux and OSX.  Once
that's checked, I'll email here again to make sure we're okay to merge
back into develop.

Thanks!

Develop head just built OK with msys64.

Best,
Mike

To clarify: this work is in the no-pthread branch, and not develop.

RIght, that should have been obvious.

Best,
Mike
