[Boost-users] Compiling Boost on MSYS2

Hello Boost Users,

why does Boost use a 32-Bit API for multithreading on a 64 bit system?
The Win32 API header on MSYS2 uses 64-Bit Windows API and the Boost
implementation (win32_api.hpp) uses 32-Bit which makes my compiler (gcc
6.3.0) complain.
Do I have to configure Boost to be 64-Bit?

Regards
Andrej
