[Jack-Devel] Problem using Jack2 with MinGW and pthreads

I've been working on porting an existing application to windows using
the MinGW compiler. The application uses both pthreads via
(http://sourceware.org/pthreads-win32) and the jack API via jack2

The problem I'm having(I think) is that pthread_t is getting redefined
via jack/systemdeps.h

The relevant section:

#elif __MINGW32__   /* MINGW */
    #include <stdint.h>
    #include <sys/types.h>
    #ifndef pthread_t
        typedef HANDLE pthread_t;
    #endif
#else

So if jack.h and pthread.h are included in the same source file I get
this error:

systemdeps.h:46:24: error: conflicting declaration 'typedef void* pthread_t'
pthread.h:571:24: error: 'pthread_t' has a previous declaration as
'typedef struct ptw32_handle_t pthread_t'

My first thought was to define pthread_t to what it is in pthread.h
before including jack.h so that there aren't conflicting declarations
and then undefine it again before including pthread.h so that I'm not
redefining pthread_t in pthread.h to something broken.

This seemed silly to me and probably breaks stuff so I was wondering
am I missing something? Is it intended to be able to use the MinGW
compiler to compile jack2 and use a pthreads implementation and if so
how?

Thanks,

Tim.
