Installing on MSYS2 gives error about portaudio

[gordonklaus]

portaudio-go uses CGO to wrap the underlying PortAudio C library. CGO invokes pkg-config to find the appropriate flags to pass to the C compiler. And apparently one of the flags in your portaudio-2.0.pc file is considered invalid by whatever C compiler you are using. So I guess either your portaudio-2.0.pc file or your choice of C compiler needs to be adjusted.

Apparently the -mthreads flag should be recognized by GCC. Are you using an old version that does not recognize the flag?

This stackoverflow post (esp. the comments) may lead to some help?

Thank you for your quick reply @gordonklaus .

I ended up building portaudio from source and following this comment https://www.reddit.com/r/golang/comments/5bl8vn/gowindowsaudio/d9pfdui/#t1_d9pfdui

Though, i think building from source is not necessary.
