Yes, but the latest MSYS/MinGW does not build csound. There is
something not quite right with it. I know how to install and set-up
the system and it does not work with the scons build anymore.
An older mingw does (3.4.2).

So it's mingw, not me :-)

Anyway I tried msvc. After putting ifndef around intptr_t and uintptr_t, 
compilation started. I got so far that everything compiled after 
commenting out word PUBLIC in csoundGetFirstMessage, which gave syntax 
error.

Linking the dll fails because of _DllMain@12 is both in threads.obj and 
csound.obj. This is something that's beyond my c-knowledge. Looking at 
the code doesn't reveal me anything. ???

Maybe it's time to find my linux machine. I have colinux in this 
machine, and csound compiles and works with pulseaudio server in windows 
and alsa plugins in colinux, even in real time, only sr must be 11025 or 
else csound gives the first note and hangs after that.
