I cant get Diddy threading module to work :/

Ive been having other compilation issues:
http://www.monkey-x.com/Community/posts.php?topic=9909

And now I am trying to get Diddy threading module to work and I cant even get the example to compile.
I am trying to compile threadTest.monkey to compile and I get the error:

../main.cpp:4321:24: fatal error: tinythread.h: No such file or directory
 #include "tinythread.h"
                        ^
compilation terminated.
Makefile:55: recipe for target 'build/Debug/main.o' failed
mingw32-make: *** [build/Debug/main.o] Error 1
TRANS FAILED: Error executing 'mingw32-make CCOPTS=" -O0" OUT="Debug/MonkeyGame"', return code=2

I'm not sure if I have to tell mingw where the threading library is or what

I managed to get it to work by copying tinythread.h from the "native" folder in the module to "C:\MinGW\include\"

Not sure if this is the right way to solve the issue though.

If you look in the header of threading.monkey you can see:

C++ targets (GLFW, stdcpp, iOS, WinRT) require the TinyThread++ header files to be copied to the build directory.

And in thread.monkey:

' Don't forget to copy the header files into your build directory after the first build

So yes, that was the right way to do it. :)

I might be able to set this up better with the latest version of Monkey. I'll take a look at it.
