Hi, Mingw can do posix -threads-, nowadays it has something internal, but probably better is a standalone winpthread.h one-file shim (depending on what level of conformance you care about, perhaps not much). But yes, doesn't provide a posix env (which generally is not a going to lead to a first class port). MSVC is the default windows env. It's probably the ideal, despite most requirement for moving furthest towards the windows mindset. It has better open source tool support than you might expect.
