do you know which files pthread_t is mentioned I'm going through the files and doing a find & replace and not finding any instances so far.
in Util.h
https://github.com/litecoin-project/litecoin/blob/0.6.3/src/util.h

and only the first 4 "pthread_t" out of 8 (i.e. between "#ifdef WIN32" and  "#else",
it's better to leave the Linux part alone)


But -D__NO_SYSTEM_INCLUDES would be the clean solution.

add -D__NO_SYSTEM_INCLUDES to the crypto def parameters in the makefile, that made it work for me as it seemed to be a collision of bdb and sys definitions.

Maybe if you have a look at my compiling problem, too? https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/gettin-error-compiling-ltc-please-help-me-196652

thanks, I'll try that when I get back home from work today

Found the cause of this error: it's a naming collision, pthread_t in the Ltc source is something different
than pthread_t in Berkeley DB. (and pthread_t doesn't appear in Btc0.8.1)

Solution: rename all occurrences of pthread_t in Ltc0.6.3 to pthreadfoo_t
Now it compiles with the new Berkeley DB deps. (but is still compatible to the old ones)

where do I find the old qtguit_deps_1.zip

and where do I unpack it to?

qtgui_deps_1.zip: Old link is dead, no mirror,
uploaded what I think is the original: http://www1.datafilehost.com/d/8561ef9a
I don't have the .sig file. Md5 checksum of uploaded file is a3840184ea3bedb8eedb755265ca6e42.

To unpack, copy \lib and \include folder over C:\MinGW\lib and C:\MinGW\include, respectively.

If QtSDK is installed, there is also C:\QtSDK\mingw\lib and C:\QtSDK\mingw\include
but these are normally not used. (?)

Not sure about litecoin-master, or the daemon/makefile.mingw, but the 0.6.3c (the official release) Qt-client is fine.
(compile from Qt4.8.4 command prompt started as admin, not from Qt-Creator)

Also, only DLLs from C:\MinGW\bin and C:\Qt\4.8.4\bin work.
(other versions of the same DLLs crash the executable)

A quick fix for the "pthread_t has a previous declaration as..." error: use the old qtgui_deps_1.zip

A quick fix for the "pthread_t has a previous declaration as..." error: use the old qtgui_deps_1.zip
for database and only the newest boost and openssl versions, i.e. in the  .pro file:

Code:
# Dependency library locations can be customized with:
#    BOOST_INCLUDE_PATH, BOOST_LIB_PATH, BDB_INCLUDE_PATH,
#    BDB_LIB_PATH, OPENSSL_INCLUDE_PATH and OPENSSL_LIB_PATH respectively
BOOST_LIB_SUFFIX=-mgw46-mt-sd-1_53
BOOST_INCLUDE_PATH=C:\deps\boost_1_53_0
BOOST_LIB_PATH=C:\deps\boost_1_53_0\stage\lib
OPENSSL_INCLUDE_PATH=c:/deps/openssl-1.0.1e/include
OPENSSL_LIB_PATH=c:/deps/openssl-1.0.1e

To get it to compile, I also commented out the  "# regenerate src/build.h"
section, and changed

Code:
#    windows:BOOST_LIB_SUFFIX = -mgw44-mt-1_43
    windows:BOOST_LIB_SUFFIX = -mgw46-mt-1_53



and

Code:
#windows:LIBS += -lole32 -luuid -lgdi32
windows:LIBS += -lole32 -loleaut32 -luuid -lwsock32 -lgdi32 -lm



still have the same error Sad

Looks like your issue in this is from the tutorial you used:
2.2 Berkeley DB: http://download.oracle.com/berkeley-db/db-4.8.30.NC.tar.gz
We'll use version 4.8 to preserve binary wallet compatibility.
From a MinGW shell unpack the source archive, configure, edit line 113 of db.h then make:
Code:
cd /c/deps/
tar xvfz db-4.8.30.NC.tar.gz
cd db-4.8.30.NC/build_unix
../dist/configure --disable-replication --enable-mingw --enable-cxx

after configuring make sure to edit your build_unix/db.h by replacing line 113:
Code:
typedef pthread_t db_threadid_t;
with
Code:
typedef u_int32_t db_threadid_t;
Thanks to Icy, see: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/how-do-you-build-berkeley-db-4830-in-mingw-45507
Not sure how you would be able to fix it though... all of my self compiles up to date, always had 50% tutorial, and 50% errors which needed googling to resolve. (was just looking at dependency issues myself)

Ok, I followed the directions for compiling outlined in this thread which apparently work with the newer versions of bitcoin which are different than the older version which Litecoin is forked from:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/building-headless-bitcoin-and-bitcoin-qt-on-windows-149479

I edited the dependency directors in the makefile.mingw which now saids:
