Hi Vincent,

I guess the reason for this error is that the TeX Live build script adds
texk/dvisvgm/dvisvgm-src/src to the include path. As a result, the
#include statement in pthread.h picks up dvisvgm's Process.h rather than
x86_64-w64-mingw32\include\process.h.
As a quick workaround, it should be enough to rename dvisvgm's Process.h
and to adapt the #includes in FileFinder.cpp, MetafontWrapper.cpp, and
Process.cpp accordingly.

Best,
Martin
